This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a 16mm reduction print. Of course, the results are fairly low-resolution, flat and dark in shadow areas of the picture.
The film is accompanied by a music score compiled from preexisting orchestral recordings.
This edition is out-of-print and may be among the best of several cheapy (and illegal) editions, but we recommend waiting for a high-quality home video edition.

We wouldn’t normally cover product from low-profile DVD-R retailers like this, but these are the only known home-video editions of this film.
