This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 35mm print or a very-good quality 16mm reduction print (possibly from a VHS videotape duplicate) as can be surmised by the publisher-provided still frame above.
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music recordings.
In the absence of a better edition, this overpriced disc is our recommended home video edition of the film.
