OVERALL: R1

The 2005 Criterion for the extras.

This film exists in three versions:
(1.) The original pre-release cut (138 minutes NTSC = 132 minutes PAL).
(2.) The theatrical cut with cuts by director Michael Powell (124 minutes NTSC = 119 minutes PAL).
(3.) The 2014 restoration which restores previously deleted scenes but is still missing "Prologue: Kleinzach Cut" (2:30) and "Olympia: The Cockrel Cut" (2:54) as the scenes in 35mm are lost, although exist in 16mm format (133 minutes NTSC = 127 minutes PAL).
Here is an extract of a letter from Michael Powell to Emeric Pressburger about the cuts made.
