    Special Notes:
    Also in the Jerry Lewis: Legendary Jerry Collection (release date 10/25/05).

    Story Synopsis:
    Yuck it up with Jerry Lewis in the original version of The Nutty Professor. Lewis, who co-wrote and directed, stars as a timid, goofy, clumsy, and very nearsighted college chemistry teacher who has eyes for his student Stella Purdy (Stevens). Through his experiments, Professor Kelp develops a secret potion that transforms him into Buddy Love, an arrogant Romeo determined to win Miss Purdy

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD looks great for its age. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered background definition and clarity. Colors are rich and vibrant, with well-balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. Minor edge enhancement is noticed for an occasionally

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
