OVERALL: Draw

The French BQHL for the extras.
For audio, the US/Canadian releases have the alternate William Walton soundtrack option and the optional mono track.

Note the French and German MGM releases have proper English subtitles for the non-English dialogue, compared with other releases that additionally captions text already in English on screen.

NOTE:
The original score was by William Walton, but because he only composed approximately twenty minutes of music (and soundtrack LPs required approximately 30-45 minutes) only a short snatch was used in the film, in the decisive final battle after which the Germans gave up. The studio commissioned Ron Goodwin to compose a longer score so they could exploit it more on the OST LP.
