This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a 35mm print. A digital watermark appears in the upper right corner of the picture throughout.
The film is likely accompanied by an orchestral music score throughout.
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.
For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
