Our first look at this edition reveals a natural-speed, full-frame video transfer from what appears to be a very-good 35mm print that is a little soft of image detail.

The presentation is accompanied by a music score performed on piano.

The disc also includes a photo gallery (100 images) and a documentary on the life and career of Marion Davies.
