      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the film version of the play Gypsy has been regarded by many as an embarrassment, but for any pajama-clad four-year-old who sat bug-eyed and open-mouthed in the back seat of their parent

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced, windowboxed 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits good quality. Though dated, images are sharp and detailed with excellent resolution. Colors are nicely balanced, with nicely rendered fleshtones and pure blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely presented for a picture that is quite pleasing. The slightest edge enhancement is noticed. Fine film grain and occasional artifacts are revealed.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
