Our first look at this quality edition reveals a natural-speed video transfer of a very-good 35mm print, provided by the Mary Pickford Institute for Film Education, that is from time to time a little blasted out in its highlights, but generally features a broad grayscale range. Some intertitles in the full-frame transfer will be clipped off on some television monitors.

The film is accompanied by a music score composed by Jeffrey Mark Silverman and performed by the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra.
