It sounds like the absolute shit was gutted out of it to get an R, so I'm not sure there's a real reason to bother. I doubt we'll ever see the real movie; I'm not sure The Devils is complete even now. I know we all miss theaters, but there's no denying the advent of streaming has been a blessing for unrated films.

There's a whole department at Warner Bros staffed by full-time salaried employees whose sole function is preventing the full cut of The Devils from ever being released on video.

I was definitely too young to see this when I saw it on cable in the 80s. Or maybe as a horny teenage closeted trans girl it was the right age, if there is a right age to see a Ken Russel movie with a prominent razorblade vibrator.
