This budget DVD edition has been mastered from an OK but blurry 8mm reduction print. Close-ups of faces often end up a blasted out mess of white blur.

An Alpha Video logomark appears in the bottom right corner of the picture off-and-on throughout the presentation. Won’t they learn?

The low-quality transfer of a low-quality source print make for a very poor viewing experience. Not recommended unless you absolutely have to own this film.
