      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The time is 1963 and the place is Baltimore, Maryland. Bill

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a generally satisfying picture, with images that are sharp, though fine detail and definition are somewhat lacking. Contrast seems a bit low, and the darker scenes are wanting in more visual information. Colors appear well balanced, with rich hues and deep blacks, while fleshtones can appear a bit reddish at times. Pixelization distracts on a few occasions, and edge enhancement is minimal. Dirt and artifacts are noticed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
