OVERALL: R1
The US release for the proper NTSC transfer and extras.
Note the French and Spanish 2-disc releases include a bonus film, though all the Warner PAL releases use an NTSC to PAL transfer.
GENERAL CUT NOTES:
The 1932 original version that was previewed allegedly ran 90 minutes. After a disastrous reaction from the audience, MGM executive Irving Thalberg deemed the film "too horrific" and had it cut to its present length of 62 minutes.
Sadly This cut footage is not known to exist, so we will never see the full uncut version as Tod Browning intended it to be seen. -
