      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Trying to make a name for himself at the New York home offices of Consolidated Life, is C.C.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a nice black-and-white picture, one with a gray scale that mostly centers at newspaper gray, but with bright whites at times. Blacks are generally weak throughout. Images are sharp, with nicely rendered detail. Undoubtedly, the picture is dated, with the source revealing of dirt and artifacts throughout. Some minor shimmering is detected in the finer details. There is edge enhancement noticed, but many scenes are free from its distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
