      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Frenzy, based on the novel Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Arthur La Bern, takes us back to Hitchcock

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD looks great for its age. Though dated, colors are well-balanced and fully saturated, with deep blacks and natural fleshtones. Images exhibit pleasing sharpness and detail, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Some minor shimmering is noticed in the finer details, and pixelization is detected at times, but overall the picture is quite solid. Some minor edge enhancement is noticed throughout. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
