      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In the British-made

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with images that are sharp, with good contrast and shadow delineation. The picture can be quite crisp and finely detailed. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, naturally rendered hues, and generally deep blacks. The picture can have a hard-edged quality, with apparent edge enhancement. Finer details shimmer on occasion. The source element is clean, with infrequent artifacts, and fine film grain occasionally detected. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #24 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love all the DVD and D-VHS reviews! I also love all the letters from people like me telling the truth about everything. Also, I can’t get enough of hi-def info on everything. I can't wait for the next issue! Keep up the good work!
