      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Think it's time to say "Adios" to "Sabata"? Not a chance! The man in black is back (although, this time it's Yul Brynner in them boots), and he's been hired to steal a wagon full of gold. When Sabata discovers that he's been duped and is now the proud owner of bags full of sand, he promises revenge on those who double-crossed him. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    As with the first DVD in this Sabata trilogy, the anamorphically enhanced DVD looks dated. The picture can be quite soft, although details are adequate. The color scheme is pretty dull, with plenty of browns and brownish fleshtones. Still whites are bright and blacks are slightly milky, but generally deep. Sometimes the picture can look quite good. The source element is revealing of some flecks of dirt and minor artifacts. Pixelization is noticed, but edge enhancement is not a problem with this title. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Again, the Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
