      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    No story, no plot? Hmm...that's what they claim. And that's what you'll think while watching Jerry Lewis as "The Bellboy" of a swanky Miami Beach hotel. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD picture looks a bit dated overall, with the black-and-white visuals presented with a fairly well-balanced gray scale. At times, contrast can seem a bit low. While the source element is quite clean at times, there are some shots in which film grain seems a bit excessive. Otherwise, flecks of dirt and artifacts are limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Like the other releases in this collection, the Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
