      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Into the flame and fury of the frontier comes a good-hearted St. Louis lawyer named Ranse Stoddard (Stewart). After getting robbed and roughed up by pesky Liberty Valance and his gang, Stoddard becomes determined to rid Valance from the town of Shinbone

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered black-and-white picture, with a generally good gray scale. Blacks are just slightly shy of true depth, but there is a nice gradation of visual information throughout. Even the darker scenes are nicely rendered. Images exhibit good sharpness and detail. The source element is revealing of some film grain and artifacts. Finer details shimmer occasionally, but there is no obtrusive edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #94 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Hi, I eagerly anticipate and then devour each issue. The articles, letters, and reviews are not the typical cookie-cutter-style that all the other clones publish. The movie reviews are a huge influence on our buying and renting. It is wonderful how thorough you are in breaking them down. I also thoroughly enjoy Terry Paullin's column, as well as the upcoming movies. Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks!
