This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a fine-grain 16mm reduction print.
We are quite pleased with the piano accompaniment by Frederick Hodges as it is well-performed, well-recorded and always an appropriate complement to the story’s action.
We previously recommended this out-of-print home video edition.
