      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Albert Finney gives a striking performance as old man Ebeneezer Scrooge in this classic Scrooge Christmas tale based on Charles Dickens

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits an appropriately dark picture for the period of the storytelling, with candle-lit interiors. Contrast and shadow delineation are well balanced and capable of delivering the dim visuals. Colors can be nicely balanced with rich hues and deep blacks, though skin tones can appear a bit orange at times. While images are generally sharp, a slightly soft, hazy focus is apparent. Edge enhancement is limited to some brighter scenes with snowy backgrounds, and there is minimal pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #108 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have been reading WSR for about two years now and especially enjoy the product review section. Although the other articles and review sections are generally well-written and informative, the product reviews give me an unbiased look at new technologies and products. Being in the home theatre design field, I look at many different sources for product ups and downs and find your magazine a very valuable resource in this area. Keep up the great work!!
