      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Akira Kurosawa

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 16, the non-anamorphic 2.35:1 DVD appears to be a recycled transfer (a scope reduction from 65mm), exhibiting similar image quality that is not up to the standards of today

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
