OVERALL: Draw

The US Criterion, US MGM, UK, and Spanish releases have their own exclusive extras.

Note the 1999 restoration mistakenly included misidentified overture and exit music. From Intrada's impeccably researched notes accompanying their 2007 re-recorded soundtrack CD:

“Mystery has long surrounded the use of “Overture” and “Exit Music” cues now associated with the film. Upon thorough examination of all associated materials [the Rózsa and Selznick archives], it appears Rózsa scored neither overture nor exit music per se. Prior to the film’s première he did, in fact, create a lengthy sequence which he entitled “The Spellbound Transcription.” This piece included a patchwork of the major themes of the score, which he recorded in segments that could be edited into sequences for a variety of special film advertising and promotional needs at that time. Portions of this recording were chopped into an overture and exit sequence [probably by Selznick and his sound editor after Rózsa had left the project], and used at the original première of the film. They were subsequently dropped from [theatrical] prints.”

Note that this film and other early Alfred Hitchcock titles have been released in many bootleg editions, and these unlicensed, supposedly "public domain" releases should all be avoided. Information regarding the copyright status of his films can be found at Brenton Film's Alfred Hitchcock: Dial C for Copyright. Hitchcock's films and their official releases are also covered in detail at Brenton Film's Alfred Hitchcock Collectors' Guide.
