      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that nicely complements the setting of the movie. While colors have a warm appearance, there is a slightly veiled quality that prohibits a look of full saturation. Still, for a film set in the mid- to late-1700s, the color scheme seems appropriate. While detail is nicely rendered, the picture has a slightly soft quality. Pixelization and edge enhancement can be bothersome. The overall quality of the image is good, but this is not a picture to use when showing off your home theatre display. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #47 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Perry and Gary are the biggest reasons that I read WIDESCREEN REVIEW! Perry’s expertise goes way back to the movie sound page days. He has always given honest and straightforward information on home theatre. Gary goes way back to the days of stereo and quad and his knowledge and way of writing are as top notch as you will ever find!
