- In the 1990s, Eklipse Records released a videocassette featuring both English and French versions of this film. The video runs a total of 120 minutes, with each version of the film clocking in at 60 minutes. On the video, the English version omits the moment in which Don Quixote's niece pleads for him not to leave, as well as the brief moments in which the housekeeper finds that Don Quixote has gone, and in which Sancho Panza escapes his pursuing wife. These scenes can be seen in the French version. However, the French version has no subtitles, at least not on videocassette. The English and French versions of the film have both recently been released on DVD.
- There were originally three versions of this film, one in French, one in English, and one in German. It is not known if the German version still exists, but it is stated in at least two classic film books that there were three versions at one time. Chaliapin starred in all of them, but several of the cast members were replaced. Identical sets and props were used for all the versions, and all three versions used the same script, although it was translated into the three languages for each country.
