WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits soft and generally undefined imagery. Colors appear well balanced, though dated and, at times, washed out. Contrast seems a bit low at times. While edge enhancement is not much of a problem, pixelization is often noticed. The source element is quite dirty, with a considerable amount of perceivable film grain, scratches, and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
