      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on Billy Rose

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD picture has a dated appearance, but is otherwise nicely rendered. Images are slightly soft, but detail is satisfying. There are some minor inconsistencies in color fidelity (not referring to the scene transitions), but hues are generally well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The source element is revealing of a few scratches and some dirt, but overall the picture is quite clean. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #98 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read this magazine from the very first issue; it’s simply the best and most informative and detailed magazine for home theatre. You can't live without it.
