      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Making The Misfits" became more of a challenge than director John Huston could have imagined. From the troubled production to the troubled stars, Huston found that he had his work cut out for him. "The Misfits" was the last picture for both the difficult and fragile Marilyn Monroe and the aging Clark Gabel. In this documentary a group of photographers from Magnum Photos brings to life all that went on during the making of the film. With behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with some of the cast and crew, this Hollywood production is a true classic. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture offers image quality typical to documentaries, with varying image quality due to stock footage, archival films, and new interviews. The interview footage is sharp and nicely detailed, with rich, natural-looking colors and well-balanced fleshtones. Edge enhancement, pixelization, and aliasing problems are all noticed in the new footage. Still, the content of the documentary outweighs any nitpicks at the picture quality, and this DVD should not be missed for fans of "The Misfits." (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #19 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’ve been reading WSR since Issue 1. I have never had any problem, any misunderstanding, or any doubt about their published articles or interviews. They are absolutely thrust full. The articles look like a Master Business Course. It is a fantastic well-written magazine with brilliant topics, thanks to the capacity of the editors and their teams. Years ago, I discussed this in Las Vegas with a George Lucas THX engineer, and at the end of two hours he agreed with me. My information was based on all the WSR issues I had read.
