This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a VHS videotape copy of a video transfer of a 16mm reduction print. Per a provided video sample, a significant horizontal video glitch runs through the top third of the picture (perhaps throughout the film).
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music recordings.
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.
