The US/Canadian and UK releases have both German and American versions of the film with multiple scores in 2.0 stereo, each with some differing exclusive extras.
The German release has both German and American versions of the film with multiple scores in 5.1 and 2.0 stereo.
The French release has the German version of the film with some exclusive French extras.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was shot from two angles with the best shots making up "Negative A" meant for the domestic German version and the others for "Negative B" meant for export. The American version of the film did not use the export negative but recut the German version and added English intertitles.
There are no extant prints of the domestic German version and Negative A was thought lost when the Cineteca del Comune di Bologna restored the film in 1995 using the American version and Negative B. Negative A was discovered at the Belgium archive and was the basis for the 2018 Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation restoration which utilized the American version for shots missing from Negative A as well as some material from Negative B while an Italian release print was utilized for grading.
