      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel

    DVD Picture:
    Though not noted on the DVD jacket, the black-and-white 2.35:1 picture is anamorphically enhanced. Images can be quite sharp, but the overall appearance is smeared with soft edges. The gray scale is quite good, exhibiting gradations with bright whites and deep blacks. Some of the darker scenes center at newspaper gray. Source element artifacts are occasional, but the picture is quite solid with minimally noticed film grain. Aliasing problems are noticed on occasion, and fine details shimmer at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #46 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is a great source of knowledge for me, to help me know more about the hardware and how it operates. I get the kind of information I need to upgrade or tweak my system as best I can. I also value the reviews of DVDs that help me make purchasing decisions.
