      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Winner of the 1973 Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD has a bit of a dated appearance and is soft at times with slightly low contrast. Still, details and definition can be satisfying. Colors are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep generally blacks. The source element is revealing of some film grain and occasional artifacts. At time, minor edge enhancement is noticed, and there is also occasional pixelization that creates an unpleasant

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 1.0 soundtrack sounds nicely restored, despite the inherent distortion and dated fidelity. Background noise is rather subtle in nature. (Perry Sun)

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
