Ratings (1-10): video: 7 / audio: 8 / additional content: 0 / overall: 8.

This DVD-R edition has been mastered from 35mm print materials held by the Library of Congress. Dust, speckling, schmutz, emulsion scrapes and scuffing, static flashes, mild frame jitters, beginning nitrate decomposition, and other print flaws remain in the scan. The DVD appears to be encoded in such a way that the picture cannot be upscaled on a high-definition viewing system and the hard and fast standard definition picture shows in image diagonals and in intertitles type.

The film is accompanied by a fine music score composed and performed on piano and synthesizers by Donald Sosin.

This is our recommended DVD home video edition of the film.
