OVERALL: Draw

The R1 US Legacy Series release, the R2 Dutch Special Edition and the R2 Scandinavian UK AE releases for the best but slightly different selection of extras.

Note that the AFI Salute in the Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection box set is shortened as the original broadcast version was almost 2 hours.

The re-release R1 also has the original mono audio track (which has some crackles and pops, since it’s from a 4th or 5th generation 35 mm print). There is also a small discrepancy in color during the main title sequence (the face was supposed to look almost colorless until it was bathed in red light, but now it has a pale flesh tone).
