      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novella by Truman Capote, Breakfast At Tiffany

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released DVD (reviewed in Issue 34), this new 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibtis a cleaned-up and brighter picture that can look quite impressive at times. While the previous DVD was marred with compression problems and excessive film grain and artifacts, this new DVD is smooth and nicely restored, and pressented with better than average compression. Colors are well balanced, with fleshtones occasionally appearing a bit ruddy. Sharpness and detail are quite satisfying overall. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Like the previously released DVD, the remastered 5.1-channel Dolby

    Reason #58 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to keep current with the latest A/V gear and technology, gain greater understanding of what's relevant to having a great home theatre, and filter out what's not. Learning that there are levels of quality product (not just bound by price), and once quality is established, it's more about how sight and sound appeal to individual taste.
