This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a 35mm fine-grain positive, a joint restoration of the Library of Congress, the American Film Institute, and the National Archives of Canada. Intended to discourage video bootlegging, occasionally the website address for the society will appear in the lower part of the picture. We wish that video publishers did not feel compelled to do this as it is distracting from the viewing experience for the collector of the disc.
The film is accompanied by a piano music score performed by Philip Carli.
