Alternate versions

The film was shown to the French press in December 1928 in a cut lasting about 3 hours and 20 minutes, however by the time the film had its first public screening in January 1929, producer Jean Sapene had ordered the length to be cut by half, unbeknownst to director Marcel L'Herbier and much to his and fellow filmmaker Marcel Carné's dismay. Much later, the film was restored to a running time of 2 hours and 25 minutes.

There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA srl, "FUTURISMO (L'Inhumaine, 1924) + IL DENARO (L'Argent, 1928)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
