This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a good-to-very-good 16mm reduction print that has some moderately modulated exposure fluctuations and plugged-up shadows making reading intertitles a challenge. The film’s action in the natural-speed, full-frame video transfer, is still reasonably easy to follow.
The film is accompanied by a compiled score of prerecorded film music from the 1930s.
