This DVD edition has likely been mastered from an archival 35mm print. We have reviewed other discs in the Milestone Mary Pickford series and are impressed with the quality of those DVDs.
This disc also includes bonus footage of Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charles Chaplin.
We are confident that this DVD is a quality production, however, since we have not has a chance to preview it, we cannot recommend the disc at this time.
This edition is now out-of-print.
