    R2 Germany - Explosive Media

  • Extras:
    US Theatrical trailer (2:34)

    2.35:1
  • Picture Format:
    Anamorphic
  • TV System:

This is the longest known print, equivalent to 95:09 24 fps compared to the original UK submission to BBFC of 94:27, and is believed to be taken from the original final cut of early November 1961. However, the much delayed cinema releases saw these versions edited down to ~87 mins (UK) and ~77 mins (US). "Dvd title "Sie Sind Verdammt".
