This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from 16mm reduction print materials that are a little flat in their greyscale range.
The film is likely accompanied by the print materials’ optical synchronized soundtrack.
Note that this company apparently has a history of pirating other home video editions to produce their products. Be aware that purchasing pirated home video editions does not benefit the original edition producers nor the composers whose music is often pirated as well.
This is our recommended home video edition of the film.
