      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hello Mrs. Robinson. The Graduate, based on the novel by Charles Webb, garnered seven Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The new anamorphically enhanced 2.34:1 DVD is a marked improvement over the previous release, with a much cleaner print, almost completely void of dirt and specks. Detail has been improved slightly, but still has a somewhat soft, dated look. Fleshtones look slightly more rosy and natural, and black levels are still solid. Edge enhancement is negligible. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #77 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

WSR provides its subscribers with unique analysis, trends, reviews and articles in a publication that is eagerly devoured from cover-to-cover. Hats off to the entire staff and the excellent contributors.
