This budget DVD edition has been mastered from a fair to good 8mm reduction print, which alternates from having deep, plugged-up shadows and some shots with blasted-out highlights. Image details are lost in the contrast and the blurriness.
The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
