      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based upon the play

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture offers mediocre image quality for this stage production. While colors are generally well balanced, with satisfying blacks and fleshtones, hues can appear smeared at times. Images can be sharp but finer details are lacking throughout. There is plenty of noise noticed and a few artifacts. Minor halos are noticed around objects at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
