Notes: 
I don't have the Czech Feature Film "Bible" covering the period when this was shot (Vol. II, 1930 - 1945), so I cannot check what kind of sources exist for the film, but the one used here is in a pretty poor shape. While showing considerably less damage than e.g. the Finnish "Häidenvietto Karjalan runomailla" I reviewed recently, the overall picture quality (resolution) is much worse, <here be wild guesses>as if the source was some kind of a reduction print (16 mm?).</here be wild guesses>

To describe the audio, let me quote (with a slight adjustment) a line well known from the Criterion booklets: ...audio restoration tools were NOT used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. (c:

Overall - probably the weakest effort from FEX I've seen so far...

*difference between channels is -87.05 dB (0.00 %)
