This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a subpar VHS videotape transferred from a 16mm reduction print (as is surmised from the publisher-provided frame capture above).

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

Reluctantly, this is our recommended home video edition of the film since there is no other edition available (as far as we know). Way overpriced for the quality delivered, Chaney completists may just bite their lip through while ordering this obviously inferior disc.
