      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Mr. Donavan (Bixby) finds himself in charge of three orphans, the bachelor tries his best to get himself out of the situation he has found himself stuck in. However, when the The Apple Dumpling Gang finds gold in their dead father's mine all bets are off. A lot of people are suddenly anxious to take care of the kids, and this leads to nothing but trouble for all involved! Based on the book by Jack M. Bickham. Unfortunately, "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again" has only been released, this far, on DVD in full frame. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    This classic movie has been given a very acceptable restoration and transfer. Though still showing signs of the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #67 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is by far the most in-depth and comprehensive publication in its genre. Readers of all levels of expertise can increase their knowledge and enhance their enjoyment of the Home Theatre experience. Widescreen Review is one of the few, if not the only publication, that actually affects manufacturer’s decisions in regards to their product lines. I believe one of the reasons DTS decoding is so common in consumer equipment is due to the efforts of Gary Reber and his associates. Additionally, the magazine has heralded the importance of a properly calibrated video monitor. Consumers who are so inclined now have the information needed in order for their equipment, from entry level to state-of-the-art, to be the best that it can be. Add to this the software reviews, articles on emerging technologies, and meticulous equipment reviews, and you have a magazine that sets the standard for others to emulate. This is why I read Widescreen Review.
