      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on Gale Edwards

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits good sharpness and detail, though some scenes appear softly focused. The color scheme is balanced with warm hues, natural fleshtones, and generally deep blacks. Some shimmering is noticed, for instance in the crocheted sleeves of some actresses

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #107 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love movies. But to get the most enjoyment requires a big investment in time and money. Widescreen Review saves me both by cutting through the BS and giving me advice I can rely on - in tips, hardware purchases, and especially which DVDs are the best. I don't have time to read a bunch of magazines, so I chose the industry leader!
