      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Set at the turn of the 19th century in South America, the industrial revolution began causing overcrowding and poor living conditions in the cities. This story follows a young telegraph boy, Fiorentino Ariza (Ugalde, Bardem), as he falls in Love In The Time Of Cholera. As soon as Fiorentino sets his gaze on beautiful but shy Fermina Daza (Mezzogiorno), he falls hopelessly under her spell. Considered not suitable for marriage to his lovely daughter, Fermina's father (Leguizamo) arranges to have her sent away to the country, hoping time and distance will erase Fiorentino's memory altogether. For over 50 years, Fiorentino bides his time, waiting for his one true love to return to him. Based on the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (Stacey Pendry)

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
