WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Soapdish is a sudsy farce starring Sally Field as the award-winning soap opera queen Celeste Talbert of the daytime drama The Sun Also Sets. Celeste

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is quite pleasing, with images that are sharp and nicely detailed throughout. Colors are rich and vibrant, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The picture is quite solid, with only a few signs of noise reduction and pixelization, as well as minor edge enhancement. There are occasional source element artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
