      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Yuichiro Miura is "The Man Who Skied Down Everest." He and a small group of enthusiastic skiers set off to do what others could only dream of doing. Winner of the 1975 Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.30:1DVD exhibits a dated appearance, with variable flickering brightness and contrast. Color fidelity can be quite satisfying, with natural blue skies, bright white snow, and generally deep blacks. Other times, hues seem a bit dark. The shaky camerawork and flickering brightness can be bothersome in a completely blackened environment. There is some film grain and dirt noticed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #13 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the DVD reviews, the equipment reviews, and the informative articles in each issue. It is the only home theatre magazine that I subscribe to, and I impatiently wait for the delivery of each issue.
