This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 16mm or 8mm reduction print.
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
As it is the only disc in-print that we are aware of, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.

This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a fine-grain 16mm reduction print.
We are quite pleased with the piano accompaniment by Frederick Hodges as it is well-performed, well-recorded and always an appropriate complement to the story’s action.
We previously recommended this out-of-print home video edition.
