      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel by Arthur Hailey, Airport is a tense drama of life at a busy airport. Mel Bakersfeld (Lancaster), is the facility

    DVD Picture:
    Available for the first time in widescreen on DVD, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture that looks dated, but images are nicely detailed with generally good sharpness. Colors are well balanced, though at times, fleshtones appear a bit brownish. Fine details shimmer on occasion, and some pixelization is noticed. Source element artifacts and dirt are apparent throughout. (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.
