      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Monte Hellman, of Two Lane Blacktop fame, brings us Ride In The Whirlwind (along with his pal Jack Nicholson). A western of cult classic status and written by Nicholson, it concerns three cowhands (Mitchell, Nicholson, and Tom Filer) who are on their way to a job. They encounter a group of outlaws who are hiding out after robbing a stagecoach. When the sheriff comes to arrest the gang, the cowhands are assumed to be a part of the outlaw troupe and are hunted like wanted criminals. (Laurie Sevano)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits good image quality for the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #55 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it has had a consistent editorial perspective since its inception: a no-compromise approach to making home theatre the best that it can be. I have read the magazine cover to cover since Issue 2. Despite staff and reviewer changes over the years, thanks to Gary's leadership this perspective has never changed. As new technologies are introduced, Widescreen Review always provides in-depth analyses of not just the technology itself, but the political and industry forces that may be forcing compromises in its development. You have always sounded the clarion call to stop compression madness or any other madness that may force us to accept a home theatre experience that falls short of what it could be. Thank you!
