I would send a short mail to Arrow's. Laura is pretty fast at responding to inquiries, and very friendly as well.

Greetings!

Was looking on Amazon uk and noticed they no longer have TCP. It's only available through sellers. Is this one becoming more rare?

They seem to have one, just under a tenner.

I have a copy that's brand new and sealed I would sell for less than that or even trade, if you're interested </opportunism>

Just ordered a copy of The Card Player for €5. Seems to get mixed reviews is that based on the film itself or compared to Darios other works?

Three of Argento's Horror films are pretty poor, and The Card Player is one of them. It has a few good moments, but overall I was pretty disappointed. The end (no, I won't spoil it) takes the biscuit - utterly underwhelming.

I still have it in my collection, though - and compared to many other films it may be worth five bucks.

Cheer PV atleast it will complete my Arrow Argento collection if I don't like it.

Pretty much everything after Opera ranges from mediocre to terrible I'd say... although I do have a slight fondness towards Mother of Tears and Sleepless.

I like Cat, although when I first watched it I found it to be a little dull. Repeat viewings have helped it grow in favour, but it is certainly the weakest of his 'animal trilogy' for me.
