      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Fresh from his stint in the real military, Elvis Presley is Tulsa McLean in 1960s

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 picture is sharp, but, perhaps due to being sourced from a print, lacks fine detail and clarity of other anamorphic DVDs. Still, colors are rich and vibrant, with nicely balanced hues and deep blacks. While artifacts and print scratches are apparent for a generally mediocre visual experience, the imagery should not disappoint Elvis fans.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #16 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read to try and find the best quality movies for sound and video. Too many movies these days have horrible sound and with today’s home theatres seem unacceptable. Also, equipment reviews are helpful.
