      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The story of The Hunting Of The President is brought to the screen in this political documentary of the events leading up to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, this film includes news clips, interviews and taped confessions from some of the key players over the tumultuous 10 years leading to his trial. (Danny Richelieu)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is typical of documentaries, featuring various film formats resulting in varying image quality. The interview segments are incredibly sharp and detailed, but supporting archival footage can appear downright poor, with blurry images, plenty of source element artifacts, and poor color fidelity. Still, the mediocre picture quality is to be expected and is adequate in delivering the visuals of the subject matter. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
