This DVD-R edition from public-domain home video company Grapevine Video has been transferred from a good to very-good 16mm reduction print of the edited version prepared for release in the United States in 1921, which features English language intertitles. The source print is, as is to be expected, soft of image detail, contrasty with blasted-out highlights, some speckling and dust, and a higher than usual amount of schmutz at the edges of the frame early in the film. The picture is jittery throughout. The video master has been transferred at slightly faster than natural speed.
The film is accompanied by a music score of abruptly-edited prerecorded orchestral and Spanish-style guitar music.
To be sure, this isn’t an ideal edition of the film, with its OK visual quality and edited American source print, but it is likely the better of the available home video editions.
