TCM plays a very good copy of "Hearts of the World" from time to time.
I've got mine recorded onto DVD.
The stills that I captured to illustrate what I found unusual about
the film are not representative of the picture quality, although they
are not too bad. You can check them out at the link below.

As for best VHS? I can't help you there.
