      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Double feature DVD with

    Story Synopsis:
    Porky

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD has a slight edge over the previously released, non-anamorphic DVD, exhibiting images that are dated, but slightly more solid and refined. Colors are fully saturated, with nicely rendered fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, though some scenes are slightly soft and smeared. Exterior scenes are quite natural, but interiors can appear slightly plugged-up. Minor source element artifacts are apparent throughout. Like the previous disc, edge enhancement is often noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack is remastered Dolby

    Reason #101 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because I like dealing with home theatre. I like watching movies the way they are intended to be seen by the Director at the most optimum grade. I am a student at NJIT studying for Electrical Engineering, and hopefully, I will be working in this fascinating world of audio/video.
