This quality DVD edition has been mastered from an excellent 35mm print, with some sections of print decomposition. The full-frame video transfer produces a flat grey overall image with grey highlights.
The film is accompanied by canned orchestral music, organ music, and guitar and harmonica music.
This edition is, to our knowledge, still the only complete presentation of this film on home video.
