This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a good 16mm reduction print of the British release version that is soft in image details, with the typical amount of dust, speckling, schmutz, emulsion scrapes, fine vertical scratched, and other print flaws.
The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting low-fidelity music recordings that are abruptly edited together.
This may well be the only available home video edition of the film.
