This DVD-R edition is as originally prepared for broadcast on Turner Classic Movies. The source material may have been a foreign-language print as it is missing its original main titles and intertitles, and new digital video-based intertitles replace them. The 35mm source print is excellent, with some dust and speckling, a fleeting moment of emulsion damage, and other minor print flaws.
The film is accompanied by a music score by Scott Salinas.
Recommended since this is the only home video edition we are aware of.
