      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After holing herself up in a deteriorating Louisiana plantation for over thirty years, Charlotte Hollis (Davis) has become the kind of disturbed old woman that neighborhood children tell stories about. Driven to near-insanity by the murder of her lover years earlier, Charlotte must fight to save her house from demolition by the county...the only way to prevent the truth from finally coming out. Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte is Robert Aldrich

    DVD Picture:
    The black-and-white picture is anamorphically enhanced at 1.66:1 and exhibits a satisfying gray scale. Blacks can be deep and solid, and whites are generally bright and clean. Still, much of the picture centers at a newspaper gray. Minor dirt, scratches, and other artifacts are noticed in the source element. Pixelization is detected at times, but edge enhancement is limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Both the Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
