      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    What

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD offers a satisfying picture. Colors are quite warm, complementing the 1930s setting, ehanced with soft, low lighting effects to depict the period. Images are sharp and nicely detailed. A considerable amount of film grain inherent in the source element is quite noticeable, giving the picture a gritty texture. Pixelization and edge enhancement are noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
