      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Director Peter Bogdanovich ("The Last Picture Show") has produced a delightful comedy in "Paper Moon," which is based on the novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown. Ryan O

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a black-and-white picture that is sharp and detailed, with well balanced contrast and shadow delineation. The picture is bright, with crisp whites and deep blacks. The source element is revealing of film grain and a few artifacts and scratches, as well as a minor flickering problem at times. Edge enhancement can be somewhat bothersome on occasion. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #121 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In my opinion, Widescreen Review is the authority and the reference standard for true unbiased critical reviews of audio/video products and equipment. Unlike other publications, which seem to parallel their articles with their advertising accounts, WSR can be trusted for high integrity of product reviews. Overall, Widescreen Review provides very accurate and satisfying reviews of equipment and DVD releases, not found in any competing publication. Keep up the outstanding work!
