OVERALL: Draw
The US Criterion and US MGM releases have the original opening credits and have differing exclusive extras.
Note both feature transfers from the 1999 restoration featuring the original opening credits while all other releases have transfers from the 1956 theatrical reissue with altered opening credits.
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.
