  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
What happens when the sweetest woman you will ever meet is left by her husband for a Swedish secretary? She becomes a very angry woman. Terry Wolfmeyer

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a satisfying imagery, with well-balanced colors and pleasing sharpness. Fleshtones appear naturally saturated and blacks are deep and solid. At times, the picture can appear slightly oversaturated, with ruddy fleshtones. Minor smearing and occasional pixlezation are noticed, but there is very little in the way of edge halos. The picture has a warmth to it that is complementary to the story. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
Both the Dolby
