      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Winner of the 1989 Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced, windowboxed/pillarboxed 1.66:1 DVD exhibits a picture that appears to be virutally the same as the previously released DVD. Blacks can seem slightly weak at times but otherwise, colors are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and nicely rendered hues. The picture can have a bit of a soft character, but details and definition are quite satisfying. The source element is revealing of the same amount of artifacts. Edge enhancement is noticed, but is generally not terribly obtrusive. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered Dolby

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
