This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a VHS videotape duplicate of a 16mm or 8mm reduction print. It, then, should be no surprise that this film looks its worst on home video.

The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting jazz music recordings.

This is not a recommended home video edition of this film.
