      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Richard Attenborough

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously reviewed DVD, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 picture has slightly improved color fidelity, with more realistic fleshtones and more vibrant colors. Still, the source element artifacts and edge enhancement are still noticeable, although not quite as obvious as in the previous DVD. This is a good picture, especially for its age. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
