OVERALL: Draw
The R1 and R2, ex France, have English audio. The R2 French release has better extra-features (not exactly film related), but no English audio or subtitles. Avoid the poor quality UK release by Orbit Media.
The original cinema runtime submitted to the BBFC as 127:45, but was cut (no details). So, the present releases (that we have runtimes for) are a couple of minutes shorter.
This film is also known as:
-Carteggio Valachi
-Le Dossier Valachi
-Joe Valachi
-I Segreti di Cosa Nostra -
CUTS:
- R1 America- Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - Unknown - should be the "R-rated" version, cover says "PG" (125:03 NTSC).
- R2 Special Edition France- Cine Generation Editions/GCTHV - Unknown.
- R2 Japan- Tohokushinsa - Unknown
- R2 Scandinavia- Universal Pictures - (120 mins PAL).
- R2 United Kingdom- Cinema Club - Unknown (120:00 PAL).
- R2 United Kingdom- Orbit Media - Unknown (119:51 PAL).
