      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    What happens when the sweetest woman you will ever meet is left by her husband for a Swedish secretary? She becomes a very angry woman. Terry Wolfmeyer

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a satisfying imagery, with well-balanced colors and pleasing sharpness. Fleshtones appear naturally saturated and blacks are deep and solid. At times, the picture can appear slightly oversaturated, with ruddy fleshtones. Minor smearing and occasional pixlezation are noticed, but there is very little in the way of edge halos. The picture has a warmth to it that is complementary to the story. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Both the Dolby

    Reason #93 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The technical levels of the articles are far beyond most other non-industry publications on home theatre. While I read many of them, WSR is very unique in its coverage, reviews, articles, and the added content of the Web edition. For all of those reasons, WSR is a must-subscribe for any HT enthusiast, and that is why I read it!
