This DVD-R edition has likely been lifted from Det Danske Filminstitut streaming site.
The film is likely to be presented silent.
Note that this company apparently has a history of pirating other home video editions to produce their products. Be aware that purchasing pirated home video editions does not benefit the original edition producers nor the composers whose music is often pirated as well.
For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
