      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Narrated by himself, "The Kid Stays In The Picture" is the story of movie producer Robert Evans

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits typical image quality for a documentary, with black-and-white and color footage peppered with photographs, archival footage, and scenes from Paramount pictures. Images can be sharp and nicely detailed or soft and hazy, depending on the source element. Colors can be nicely saturated or border oversaturation. Overall, this DVD capably delivers the visuals for this interesting documentary. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
