The preserved material is characterized by chemical degradation in several places, which can disturb the film experience. The famous dancing scene was also marked by degradation, until material from the Swedish film cenorship was found. Now, the dancing scene appears to be in better shape than the rest of the film, based on content that wasn't meant for public display in Sweden.
