Notes:WARNING: Although this is a widescreen presentation in the original language, there is nothing good about it. The audio sounds muffled and the video is mastered from a worn and damaged print. The picture is soft and full of speckles and dust. The subtitles cover approximately 1/4 of the image, even though this is not an anamorphic presentation. There is also a considerable amount of telecine wobble present. There are no menus and no chapter stops.
