      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Set during the roaring

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits soft, hazy images that are both nostalgic and moody. While the picture certainly has dated characteristics, colors can be nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and generally deep blacks. Flecks of dirt and plenty of film grain are inherent in the source element. There is some edge enhancement noticed at times, as well as occasional pixel breakup. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #96 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I enjoy reading WSR because it is much more informative than the run of the mill A/V mags. The articles on cutting edge equipment are excellent. I enjoy the home theatre set-up articles. The movie reviews are first rate. Keep up the great work.
