      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in the "Barbra Streisand Collection."

    Story Synopsis:
    Based upon the play by Tom Topor, Nuts is a melodramatic story of Claudia Draper (Streisand), a high-priced hooker arrested for the murder of a john (an almost laughable casting of comedian Leslie Nielsen). While her parents want her to plead insanity, the clearly insane woman wants to stand trial. A struggling lawyer (Dreyfuss) struggles even more when she wants him to prove her point in a competency hearing so she can see her day in court. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a naturally balanced color scheme, with a subtle, slightly understated appearance. Fleshtones appear natural and blacks are generally deep. Andrzej Bartkowiak

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 surround audio is feebly stereophonic in nature. There

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
