This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 16mm or 8mm reduction print (as might be surmised from the blurry publisher-provided still frame 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 and we still criticize this publisher for their overpriced offerings that give the consumer as little value as possible.
