      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Whether you see 4 For Texas as a western or a spoof of the genre, it is a fun and stylish adventure featuring two Rat Packers (Martin and Sinatra) as wily business rivals battling it out in the games of poker and romance. In late 19th century Galveston devious villains and rootin

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture has a dated appearance, but otherwise is very nicely rendered. Colors are rich, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The red walls in Chapter 11 are bold and solid, with little bleeding or smearing. Images are generally sharp, but detail can be lacking at times. The source element is revealing of occasional artifacts and film grain, but is otherwise clean. There is some noticeable edge enhancement, but nothing too distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
