This DVD-R edition has been transferred from very-good 35mm print elements, as originally prepared for broadcast on Turner Classic Movies. The resulting picture has not been digitally stabilized and has its fair share of speckling, dust and occasional vertical scratches.
The film is accompanied by its original synchronized monaural soundtrack.
