      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the story The Sobbin

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released, non-anamorphic DVD (Issue 34), this new anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD looks much better, with improved definition and color balance. The picture is certainly dated, with anomalies noticed in the source element throughout. Film grain, scratches, fluctuations in color saturation, and flecks of dirt are detected, but nothing that should be considered excessive. Minor pixel breakup is noticed, but no bothersome edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Unnatural sounding vocals and slightly dated fidelity define this remastered Dolby

    Reason #14 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Well, I spent most of my young years in the military (U.S. Ranger). My father really got me going in home theatre gear. There’s nothing like getting a good movie on DVD, turning on my HDTV, my Sony a/v receiver, and sitting down for good quality entertainment. I still enjoy the articles and reviews you give me. Please keep doing a great job. I look forward to the next issue.
