OVERALL: Draw
Between the R1 - "The Complete Film Collection - Ultimate Collector's Edition" box set (for the exclusive documentary - it has also CD and some other goodies) and the French R2 CE. They both contain a good, but different, set of extra features. The French CE also includes a remixed DD5.1 soundtrack as well as the original mono; we don't know whether its extras are English-friendly.
-
CUTS:
- R1 America- Warner Home Video - No cuts
- R2 Collector's Edition France- MGM / Editions Montparnasse - No cuts
- R2 United Kingdom- Universal Pictures - No cuts
