OVERALL: Draw
The US and Australian releases for the differing extras.
Notes:
In the early portion of the film, Bunuel deliberately showed the arrival of the guests twice, thus repeating the same piece of action. The Arrow Films DVD removes the second arrival of the guests, presumably under the misguided assumption that it was a mistake on the part of the filmmakers.
