      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gilda Bess

    DVD Picture:

Images exhibit good sharpness and detail, and textures can be nicely rendered. Some scenes are softly focused, but there is minimal smearing. Film grain and some minor artifacts are inherent in the source element. There is only minor pixelization but very little in the way of edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #22 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gives you the most recent reviews on AMPS, SPEAKERS, and DVDS, etc. Some of which are not available in the U.K at the time of publication. I enjoy your reviews of recently released DVDs. I am a keen fan of your magazine. Thanks for a great magazine.
