It appears to be a TV recordied VHSrip and is the best you
will find of this movie. I checked and cannot find anything
better. It was never commercially released to VHS or DVD
so this may be the best you will ever see unless they can
find the original film and remaster it.
BTW: A good hint to a movies rareity is by the number of votes
on IMDB divided by the years since release. At 295 total
votes and released in 1956 means it is very rare !
Thanks Anon, after a quick search I found nothing good.
