It's included with the Kurosawa film as part of a nice 2-disc set put out by Criterion. I greatly prefer it to Kurosawa's adaptation; there's a lot more going on with it, it's less stiff, Jean Gabin gives an outstanding performance, and his character is more complex than Mifune's counterpart. The claustrophobic, overly theatrical feel of the Kurosawa version doesn't quite work for me, though it's certainly not a bad film.
