This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a 16mm reduction print. At times the video transfer is so dark in shadow details that intertitles can barely be read.
The film is accompanied by a compilation of early film music from a variety of preexisting sources.
Currently, this is the only home video edition of the film that we are aware of.
