This budget edition has been mastered from VHS videotape copy of a transfer made from a very-good 16mm reduction print. Telltale signs are in the darkish smears to the right of bright highlights in the picture; apparently Alpha Home Entertainment felt it necessary to place a black bar at the bottom of the picture to mask the characteristic tracking misalignments that typically show up at the bottom of a VHS picture. The print is OK, but the video transfer by way of half-inch analog videotape is not. The intertitles have been replaced with video-based intertitles. If resetting the type is necessary to translate foreign language intertitles, we don’t think that it is necessary to try to emulate old film in new video intertitles. We suspect that the edition from Grapevine Video, noted above, will look better than this one.
