This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a very-good 35mm print, likely that held by the George Eastman Museum, as was originally prepared for broadcast on Turner Classic Movies. The natural-speed video transfer still has a moderate amount of dust and speckling in it, with some very minor scuffing, scratches and other print flaws. The overall image is very-good viewing.

The film is accompanied by an original orchestral music score composed by Vivek Maddala.

This is the only home video edition of the film that we are aware of.
