      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Honored as the funniest movie of all time by the American Film Institute

    DVD Picture:
    The non-anamorphic 1.66:1 DVD exhibits a lovely black-and-white picture, with good gray scale quality. Images are generally sharp, with nicely rendered detail and definition. Some scenes are softly focused. Fine details shimmer slightly and aliasing problems and pixelization are detected. Edge enhancement can be distracting at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #59 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read Widescreen Review for years because it has been the only magazine available to me that describes the benefits and options available to anyone interested in widescreen movie viewing. I have learned a lot about movies and their display options (including sound) from reading this magazine.
