How many different versions are there of Touch of Evil?

I know there are multiple DVDs and I'm not sure if any of them have the film the way Orson Welles intended it.

Got to be at least 4, by my count:

(1) Welles' original cut
(2) The version released by Universal in 1958
(3) That re-release from the '70s
(4) The "new" edition based on Welles' memo

Only 3 of these would still actually exist, as I believe Welles' original cut has been lost to history. Always a chance it'll show up in someone's private collection, though!

Asker's Rating:

• I'm pretty sure the DVD I have is the new edition, or their best guess as to what Welles would have wanted. I'm wondering which version I saw in film school all those years ago.
