Notes:*The original French theatrical version was missing the final shot of Boris Karloff's character on horseback as the camera pulls back to reveal the film crew. The so-called French version on this disc includes the missing sequence so it is not the French theatrical version, just a copy of the Italian master with the French track synchronized to it.
Available directly from Le Chat Qui Fume.
