OVERALL: Draw
The US/UK Arrow releases have the most extras. Note the "Shawscope Volume One" set has additional films.
GENERAL NOTES:
The Arrow restorations run five minutes longer because they restore missing frames at each cut that were not included in the earlier HD master (see Movie Censorship's entry on the film).
-
CUTS:
- Blu-ray A Japan- Paramount Home Entertainment - No cuts (101:38).
- Blu-ray ALL America- Arrow Films - No cuts (105:57)
