This DVD-R edition may have been mastered from 35mm or 16mm reduction print materials (as is evident from the publisher-provided still frame above).
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
This is our reluctantly recommended home video edition of the film, as is the only known edition we are aware of. You have to really want this title to pay for this overpriced, low-value release.
This is it. This is what $45.00 buys you.
