      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In "When Will I Be Loved," Vera's (Campbell) sleezy boyfriend Ford (Weller) has a most indecent proposal for her, involving an Italian media mogul (Chianese) and $100,000. It seems that Count Tommaso Lupo is smitten with Vera and is willing to pay big money to be able to spend time with her. So, the promiscuous young woman decides to see what the old man has in mind. The Count claims to want nothing more than to make her happy, so Vera willingly indulges his wishes. And after the tryst is over, Vera decides to show the two men exactly what she thinks of them and of what they have done to her. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD has a bit of a dark, but color-rich appearance. Contrast seems a bit low. The color scheme has a warm quality, with somewhat ruddy fleshtones, lots of red and gold hues, and deep, but undefined blacks. Edge enhancement can be a problem with this title, and there is occasional pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
