      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Grass Harp, based on the novel by Truman Capote, tells the story of Collin Fenwick (Furlong) who, after the death of his mother, moves in with his father

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture can have a slightly soft appearance, but details can be nicely rendered. Colors are richly saturated with a warm balance that enriches the locations. Fleshtones are generally accurate, if a bit ruddy at times. There is occasional edge enhancement detected, but nothing too distracting. Pixelization is limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #107 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love movies. But to get the most enjoyment requires a big investment in time and money. Widescreen Review saves me both by cutting through the BS and giving me advice I can rely on - in tips, hardware purchases, and especially which DVDs are the best. I don't have time to read a bunch of magazines, so I chose the industry leader!
