OVERALL: Draw
The US 70th AE and UK SE releases have the most extras.
The US ClassicFlix release has a 4K restoration transfer, but only a new restoration featurette as an extra.
A visual comparison is available at Celto Slavica.
"Meet John Doe" is in the public domain and there are many poor-to-fair quality DVDs.
