      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Barbra Streisand's won an Oscar

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that should be quite appealing for fans. While many scenes exhibit a soft focus, images are nicely detailed and solid. Colors are rich and well balance, especially the stage performances within the movie, with the vibrant costumes. Fleshtones appear natural, and blacks are deep and solid. There is occasional shimmering noticed in the finer details, but edge enhancement is the biggest obtrusion, though many scenes are free from its appearance. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #55 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it has had a consistent editorial perspective since its inception: a no-compromise approach to making home theatre the best that it can be. I have read the magazine cover to cover since Issue 2. Despite staff and reviewer changes over the years, thanks to Gary's leadership this perspective has never changed. As new technologies are introduced, Widescreen Review always provides in-depth analyses of not just the technology itself, but the political and industry forces that may be forcing compromises in its development. You have always sounded the clarion call to stop compression madness or any other madness that may force us to accept a home theatre experience that falls short of what it could be. Thank you!
