Ratings (1-10): video: 3 / audio: 3 / additional content: 3 / overall: 3.

This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a fair to good 16mm reduction print (possibly from the Library of Congress paper print collection) that is soft in image details, with dust, speckling, frame jitters, and other print flaws present.

The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting low-fidelity music recordings.

For information about other films in this collection, see our Lost, Strayed or Stolen on home video page.

For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
