      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novella by Truman Capote, Breakfast At Tiffany

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released DVD (reviewed in Issue 34), this new 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibtis a cleaned-up and brighter picture that can look quite impressive at times. While the previous DVD was marred with compression problems and excessive film grain and artifacts, this new DVD is smooth and nicely restored, and pressented with better than average compression. Colors are well balanced, with fleshtones occasionally appearing a bit ruddy. Sharpness and detail are quite satisfying overall. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Like the previously released DVD, the remastered 5.1-channel Dolby

    Reason #121 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In my opinion, Widescreen Review is the authority and the reference standard for true unbiased critical reviews of audio/video products and equipment. Unlike other publications, which seem to parallel their articles with their advertising accounts, WSR can be trusted for high integrity of product reviews. Overall, Widescreen Review provides very accurate and satisfying reviews of equipment and DVD releases, not found in any competing publication. Keep up the outstanding work!
