      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    The three

    Story Synopsis:
    Nominated for seven Academy Awards

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that retains the look of the series, while offering a bit more range within the color scheme. There appears to be some loss of detail that could be attributed to noise reduction. While not always present, edge enhancement can also be distracting. Compared to the LaserDisc, the picture is more defined, with improved contrast. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The DVD soundtrack, remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 lacks the subtle low-end extension and LFE activity that is noticeable with the previous LaserDisc version. The DVD soundtrack, however, sounds a little more

    Reason #48 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In addition to Widescreen Review, I subscribe to several audio/video publications, such as Sound And Vision, Stereophile, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Audio Video Interiors, and peruse through the myriad of British audio video publications when I go to Borders, Barnes & Nobles, or Tower Records. I must acknowledge that Widescreen Review is one of the better ones because it is more like a trade publication than a magazine full of advertisements. Moreover, Widescreen Review was one of the first publications to delve into DVI and more importantly, HMDI, which I deem important because it can make a lot of the current products out there obsolete. Put simply, Widescreen Review is The New York Times of audio/video publication. In other words, if you want real news, you read The New York Times. To stay on top of what’s happening in the audio/video industry, you read Widescreen Review. Enough said.
