We have not viewed the DVD, which also includes Three Ages (1923) and My Wife’s Relations (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 this DVD edition over any others.
