      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The John Huston/Ray Stark screen production of Tennessee Williams

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced black-and-white 1.78:1 picture exhibits dated images from a fairly dirty source element. Flecks of dirt, scratches, and film grain are all inherent. Gray scale quality is adequate, and the picture is bright, but well balanced. Pixel breakup is occasional, but edge halos are not a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Fidelity in the Dolby

    Reason #56 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am most interested in the formats (audio) of DVDs. I buy a DVD, and then it is re-introduced in a deluxe package some time later. I am not that interested in the extras, but the DVD is invariably upgraded in sound. This is usually DTS ES surround but in some cases DTS ES 6.1 (discrete). Most reviews (Home Theater, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Sound And Vision) do not address this situation. I am subscribing to Widescreen Review, hopefully, to solve this problem. I am looking forward to my first issue and a long relationship with your magazine.
