We have not seen the DVD. The DVD also includes The Scarecrow (1920) and The Paleface (1922). We have seen the laserdisc edition of these films. We can assume the DVD will be of similar or better quality to same films on laserdisc, as produced for video by David Shepard. Based on our knowledge of the quality of these films in their laserdisc edition, we recommend the DVD versions. All three films feature music scores performed by a small orchestra.
