Our first look reveals that the disc has been mastered to a slightly windowboxed video transfer from a very-good to excellent 35mm print. Image details are clear and the disc is satisfying viewing.

The film is accompanied by a theater organ music score that was recorded during a live showing.

We recommend this edition as the best currently available on home video.
