      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After getting kicked out of of the state of New Hampshire due to the indiscretions of its leading man, a film company settles in to Waterford, Vermont to film The Old Mill. Only Waterford

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits very pleasing quality. Images are sharp and detailed, but images seem to be wanting in natural openness and dimension at times. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, warm hues and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation exhibit good balance. Edge enhancement is the only distraction from the pleasing visuals. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #69 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:
