OVERALL: R2

The German Ultimate edition is English-friendly but imperfect (although perhaps the least so of the other DVD editions).

Also available from:
- Shout! Factory (USA - the DVD is the "Elvira's Movie Macabre" double feature with "The Maneater of Hydra" not a DVD edition of the recent Blu-ray)
- Sinister Film (Italy)


GENERAL NOTES:
The three principal versions are:
- The Spanish domestic cut (~103 minutes NTSC/~98 minutes PAL);
- The English export version titled "The Finishing School" (~104 minutes NTSC/~100 minutes PAL) with alternative angles substituted in the domestic Spanish version;
- The American theatrical version (~94 minutes NTSC/~91 minutes PAL).

A comparison between the US theatrical and Uncut export version is available on Movie Censorship.

CUTS:

• R2 France- Rene Chateau Video - Yes, French version (94:40 PAL)
• R2 Germany- Colosseo Film - Yes (97:50), recreation of the export version by using the shorter AIP HD master and film-sourced inserts; however it has cuts 2:05 to the opening credits sequence to remove the English credits since the French credits appear in an earlier spot.
• R2 Ultimate Edition Germany- Colosseo Film - Yes (97:18 PAL), recreation of the export version by using the shorter AIP HD master and film-sourced inserts; however it has cuts 2:05 to the opening credits sequence to remove the English credits since the French credits appear in an earlier spot.
• R2 Italy- No Shame Films - Cuts unknown (98:12 PAL)
• R2 Spain- Divisa - No cuts - Spanish domestic version (99:27 PAL)
