The most dangerous love-game ever played.Director: Jacques Deray

The US release has both versions of the film with some exclusive extras with a 4K restoration transfer of the French version.
The German release has both versions and the same extras as the 2009 French release, but it reportedly has a high level of background noise (on all tracks).
The UK image differs markedly from the French 2009 release (the German one appears to be the same as the French) and is said to be preferable. The two can be see here (UK) and here (French), but not directly comparing the same scenes.
