OVERALL: Draw
The Severin releases have two versions of the film.
The German release has all the extras from the Severin releases and adds the Just Jaeckin interview from the French release, with the international version of the film.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was shot mainly in English but the leads had to loop all of their dialogue during post-production for the English track in Paris.
