This film has had a limited release history, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Most of the existing copies are on VHS or deteriorating prints, which adds to its rarity. With the growing interest in pre-war cinema, particularly those that delve into the human experience with such a stark lens, this title is becoming more sought after among niche collectors.
