This cheapy edition of this rare Lon Chaney film has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a full-frame video transfer of a 16mm reduction print. Some scenes are too light, some scenes are too dark. Not good viewing. Also, a small, gray “cf” logo appears at times in the lower right-hand corner of the picture. This is supposed to discourage video pirates; which is funny, as this video transfer was likely ripped-off from some other video company for this DVD edition. The film is accompanied by a disjointed selection of preexisting music recordings that are haphazardly assembled, regardless of the current action of the story. Not recommended, and not that easy to find; this is currently the only known DVD edition of this rare film (see below). |
