      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Six Degrees Of Separation is a social satire adapted from the stage play by John Guare. It features Will Smith as Paul, a young man who successfully charms his wy into the lives of Manhattan art dealers Ouisa and Flan Kittredge (Sutherland and Channing in an Oscar

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 9, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is refined, with good clarity. Viewed alone, the picture is quite pleasing. Images are generally sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are vibrant with nice balance, accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Slightly digital-looking with apparent edge enhancement, the DVD is otherwise generally pleasing. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #130 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review contains the most comprehensive information available on new products, market trends, and emerging technologies. Your detailed analysis of display and recording technologies sets the standard by which other industry publications should be measured. I purchase millions of dollars of A/V gear yearly, and Widescreen Review helps me keep up-to-date and ensure that the technologies that I am purchasing will not be obsolete in a year. New product reviews in Widescreen Review are both accurate and honest. If a product performs poorly, I want to know about it. Unlike other trade publications that give glowing reviews on every product, Widescreen Review can be counted on for the real story.
