OVERALL: R2

Austrian release is uncut, but unfortunately suffers from inconsistent picture quality (see notes); it also contains the complete workprint as an extra.

Do note that the German 'Starlight Film - Ungeschnitten' is cut by 1 second and might be preferred for the consistent picture quality. The R0 and R1 'R-Rated' version might still be preferred for the superior picture quality. The choice is your.
