    Story Synopsis:
    A distinctive weapon is the calling card of internationally known assassin Francisco Scaramanga (Lee), 007

    DVD Picture:
    When compared to the previously released LaserDisc (not reviewed), the anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is quite solid. Though dated, the picture is generally sharp. Colors are rich and nicely balanced, with deep, solid blacks. Clarity is improved over the LaserDisc, as colors are more well-defined. Minor film grain is noticed. Occasionally edges appear enhanced, but the DVD will surely please those who have seen the LaserDisc.

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
