      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After arriving in the quaint little mining town of Presbyterian Church, gambler John McCabe has dreams of setting up business there. With construction underway for his saloon and gambling house he receives a proposition from new girl in town, bordello madam Constance Miller. Constance suggests that they become partners and convinces him that they can

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD definitely has dated characteristics. The Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography offers stylized characteristics which create a dingy appearance. Images are intentionally soft and detail is wanting. The color scheme is well-suited for the western theme, and hues are weak with pale blacks. Contrast is quite low, and visual information is limited in the darker scenes. The source element is revealing of film grain, dirt, and artifacts, contributing to the dated appearance of the picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #30 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because of the honest reviews on home theatre components and the great one-on-one interviews. I subscribe to several home theatre magazines, but hands down Widescreen Review is always a must-read every month, and for that I thank you.
