This DVD edition has been prepared from a good to very-good American Film Institute 35mm preservation print that is unstable in the frame and has sections of active decomposition.
The film is accompanied by a music score performed on piano by Jon C. Mirsalis.
The film’s condition can make viewing this film though going, but we suspect that the film has been preserved from the sole surviving print.
