This DVD-R collection has been produced from very-good to excellent print materials preserved and held by The Library of Congress. The results are very pleasing, for the high-definition digital video transfers maintain a broad range of greyscale tones and sharp image details.

The films are accompanied by music scores composed and performed by Ben Model.

This collection is highly recommended.
