      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gilda Bess

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a well balanced color scheme. fleshtones appear very natural, and blacks are deep and solid, while hues are complementary to the setting of the story. Images exhibit good sharpness and detail, and textures can be nicely rendered. Some scenes are softly focused, but there is minimal smearing. Film grain and some minor artifacts are inherent in the source element. There is only minor pixelization but very little in the way of edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With good imaging across the front stage, and a good use of surrounds for reproducing music, this Dolby

    Reason #63 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am an older guy who had not bought any A/V equipment for the last 14 years. I was really out of the loop as to what was happening. Did not even own a DVD player until now. This summer, my wife and I decided to build a small home theatre in our basement. Widescreen Review has been an invaluable research partner. The room was completed in mid September and now Widescreen Review can really show its stuff. The extensive DVD reviews are the final word for us when picking movies to watch. The news and equipment reviews keep us current, as we start down the never-ending path of upgrade-itis. Thanks for a great magazine.
