      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gene Kelly stars in a story about an 18th Century village in the Scottish Highlands. Kelly and Johnson play two cynical hunters from New York City who stumble upon the ethereal village of Brigadoon, which materializes from the mists only one day each hundred years. There, Kelly falls in love with the town

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released, non-anamorphic DVDs, this new anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD exhibits better image quality throughout, though still fairly dated in appearance. Color fidelity seems slightly undersaturated, but hues are otherwise well balanced. The source element is revealing of film grain and minor dirt and scratches. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    This newest DVD release, complete with a Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
