      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bernardo Pucini (Greggio) is a good-natured and dutiful son who is at the mercy of his overbearing father

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD will surely please, with images that are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered background definition and clarity. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Minor source element dirt and artifacts are apparent throughout, but rarely distract. Edge enhancement is occasionally noticed, but overall the picture exhibits pleasing quality. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #110 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review, because of all the A/V magazines I read, I trust the writers of Widescreen Review to give the most thorough review and honest opinion of any equipment being reviewed. I count on Widescreen Review to keep me informed on any and all new information in the world of home theatre more than any other source. I also base many of my DVD purchases on the review of the picture and sound of a particular DVD. I always look forward to finding Widescreen Review in my mailbox!
