      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    When "Clue" was released theatrically in 1985, there was a triple inventory of 35mm prints, each with a different conclusion to the movie. Three separate endings were filmed, and what version you saw depended on which print your theatre received. Upon its 1986 video release, all three endings were incorporated into the movie.

    Story Synopsis:
    Before beginning your mystery adventure based on the popular Parker Brothers

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD looks quite good, with a solid appearance throughout. Images are generally sharp, though sometimes slightly soft and undefined. The interiors of the house are a tad on the dark side, but add to the humorous mystery with generally good shadow delineation. Colors are balanced throughout, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks, though the picture can appear slightly "pasty." Minor pixelization and artifacts are noticed. Overall, the picture looks great for its age.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
