      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel by Ira Levin, Rosemary

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits minor improvements over the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 29. Images are slightly soft, but background definition and clarity are quite pleasing. Colors exhibit subtle refinement in hues, and are more natural in appearance with good balance. Blacks are just a shade deeper than on the LaserDisc. Fine film grain is noticed, but rarely seems excessive. Though dated, the picture will surely please, especially for its age. On occasion, minor enhancement is noticed, and pixelization and shimmering images are infrequent. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack is Dolby

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
