Msycamore: the only difference between the re-release and the German TV is basically the re-ordering of the arrest, which somehow loses a few seconds, and the extended Donald Pleasance scene. No deleted White Limbo stuff, no humour. Nothing close to 4 or 5 minutes, just 45 seconds or so of less footage. So it's not the 1971 American theatrical that is being sought. It is, however, another variant in itself. Which goes to show that between the three known transfers from Italy, Germany and English-speaking countries there were three different cuts of the film. I wonder how many more there are.
