And of course ...

In 1984, HBO made a three-hour TV film of it starring Jodie Foster, which was then edited down for the French market into a 40-minute cinema release with dubbed dialogue.
Poster for VHS release of the English language version. In the main image, Jodie Foster is central and in the foreground flanked by Sam Neill and Michael Ontkean slightly behind her. They all look rather serious. Superimposed in front of them there is a knife bloodily stabbing a Nazi swastika. The film's strapline is "An obsession stronger than love. More violent than war". Poster for cinema release of French version. Essentially the same as the English language VHS cover except for some reason Foster and Neill are both looking out towards the viewer and smiling in a slightly dopey way. Guess they're supposed to look like they're in love, but they really just look rather vacant. And weirdly content.
