      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In Tangier on October 15, 1904, Arab chief Raisuli (Connery) and his army kidnapped American widow Mrs. Pedecaris (Bergen) and her two children. As President Roosevelt (Keith) made attempts to free Mrs. Pedecaris and her family, the strong and willful woman came to understand the man who had kidnapped her. And when Raisuli himself ended up in trouble, Mrs. Pedecaris was there to save him. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD has a bit of a dated appearance that can be a bit soft at times. Otherwise images exhibit satisfying sharpness and details can be nicely rendered. Colors are warm and nicely saturated, though fleshtones appear brownish at times. The source element is revealing of some scratches and flecks of dirt, as well as some minor film grain. Finer details, like those at the Palace in Tangier, are slightly smeared and occasionally break up with pixelization. Edge enhancement can also be a problem in the higher contrast scenes. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #19 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’ve been reading WSR since Issue 1. I have never had any problem, any misunderstanding, or any doubt about their published articles or interviews. They are absolutely thrust full. The articles look like a Master Business Course. It is a fantastic well-written magazine with brilliant topics, thanks to the capacity of the editors and their teams. Years ago, I discussed this in Las Vegas with a George Lucas THX engineer, and at the end of two hours he agreed with me. My information was based on all the WSR issues I had read.
