Marcus Daly throws a photo of his former fiancee into the wastebasket, at the request of his new girlfriend, Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi). The actual photo he throws away is a picture of Marilu Tolo, former girlfriend of Argento, who subsequently married Nicolodi.

The original Italian version is 126 minutes long. Most US versions remove 22 minutes worth of footage, including most graphic violence, all humorous scenes, almost all of the romantic scenes between David Hemmings and Daria Nicolodi and part of the subplot regarding the house of the screaming child.

The full-length Italian version (with English subtitles and two small cuts totalling 11 seconds by UK censors) was available on video in pan & scan format from Redemption Films but is now deleted. The only known widescreen prints of this version can be found in Australia completely uncut on both SBS-TV and its pay-TV channel World Movies or the Anchor Bay US DVD. Note that the widescreen laserdisc release is in English language and was cut by director Argento himself by about 12 minutes.
