OVERALL: Draw

Both releases feature differing extras.

This film exists in three versions:
(1.) The original pre-release cut (138 minutes)
(2.) The theatrical cut with cuts by director Michael Powell (124 minutes)
(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).
Here is an extract of a letter from Michael Powell to Emeric Pressburger about the cuts made.

• Blu-ray A #317 America- Criterion Collection - No cuts. 2014 Restoration (134:12).
• Blu-ray B United Kingdom- Studio Canal - No cuts. 2014 Restoration (133:07).
