This DVD edition has been mastered from a 35mm preservation negative. However, the video transfer features such extreme edge sharpening of the contrasting greytones that it is distracting.
The film is accompanied by musical accompaniment performed by Rodney Sauer with members of The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
