      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird received three Academy Awards

    DVD Picture:
    The black and white picture is wonderful on this anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD, with an exceptional gray scale. Images are sharp and detailed, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Certainly, as expected for a movie of over 40 years old, some dirt, film grain, and minor scratches are noticed in the source element, but nothing that is too much of a distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    This newest DVD release of the classic film includes new Dolby

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
