OVERALL: Draw

- All the R2 releases feature an anamorphic transfer, but only the longer version of the film.
- The R1 features both the theatrical and longer versions of the movie, but is non-anamorphic.

Note:
All DVDs feature the original 2.0 Mono down-mix. The film premiered in Dolby Stereo but for general release only mono was used.

Two versions of this film exist:

(1.) The original director's cut prepared by Guy Hamilton and scored by Ron Goodwin. This exists in two variants; one with the theatrical photograph credits and one with the blue-gray shadows credits (126 minutes NTSC = 121 minutes PAL).
(2.) The edited US theatrical cut prepared by AIP (119 minutes NTSC = 114 minutes PAL).
