This poorly produced DVD-R edition has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a fair to good 8mm reduction print that is quite scuffed, with dust, speckling, and other defects including persistent frame instability. The older analog video transfer has a hard time holding image details in the highlight areas of the picture but the shadow areas remain open and reasonably well defined.
The film is accompanied by a music score compiled from preexisting music sources that are often abruptly edited together.
Not a great presentation but this is the only home video edition of the film we know of. This edition, produced by Gladys’ son John Walton, is now out-of-print and may be hard to find.
