This questionable edition, purchased on eBay, has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a full-frame sound-speed video transfer from a 16mm reduction print, and shows all the signs of its origin with smeary image detail and occasional videotape glitches.

A very trying viewing experience. It is, however, the only DVD home video edition of the film currently available to collectors.
