This DVD edition has likely been mastered from a fair 16mm reduction print that is quite dirty and dark in places.
The film is accompanied by the source material’s synchronized soundtrack of Klezmer music in passable fidelity.
Not recommended due to the subpar print materials utilized but it the only edition we have viewed.
