      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hired as a governess for two little lovelys, Miss Giddens (Kerr) soon learns that she won't be living the life of Mary Poppins. Sent to the country to take care of "The Innocents," Miss Giddens is at first charmed by the children. But it becomes apparant soon enough that there's evil lurking below the surface, and everything is not at all what it seems. Based on the story "The Turn Of The Screw" by Henry James. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture delivers the lovely black-and-white visuals with a nicely balanced gray scale. Images are satisfyingly sharp and detailed, with pleasing contrast and shadow delineation. The source element is revealing of some minor anomalies like dirt, scratches, and film grain. Pixelization is occasionally noticed, but there are no obtrusive edge halos. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Dialogue and recorded effects definitely show their age in the Dolby

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
