The black-and-white print is well preserved, with only a limited number of scratches, which is admirable for a film of this age.
An absence of extras might be expected and, in some ways, comes as a relief. Potted biogs and waffly appreciation pieces by unknown critics with high opinions of themselves can be a pain.
