      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on Ted Lewis

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with images that are occasionally hazy, while other times nicely rendered with good depth. Though dated, colors are well balanced with slightly brownish fleshtones and deep, undefined blacks. Hues can appear a bit more vibrant, but brown shades are predominant. Film grain is noticed throughout, occasionally seeming a bit excessive. Aliasing problems and pixelization are evident, but the most distracting aspect of the image quality is the soft, undefined appearance.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #97 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    My favorites are the articles that discuss cutting edge technologies. It keeps me up to date. I also find some of the product and DVD reviews helpful. I'm glad there are others that passionately care about delivering a theatrical experience in the home.
