      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Honored with the Special Jury Award at the 1960 Cannes International Film Festival, L

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a black-and-white picture that is dated, yet nicely rendered. The gray scale is well balanced, with bright whites and generally deep blacks. Images exhibit good sharpness and detail throughout. There are infrequent occasions in which pixelization or minor shimmering details are noticed. Occasional source element artifacts are noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #64 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As a newbie to widescreen TVs and all they can be equipped with, I have been overwhelmed. Your magazine brings together a wealth of information for the new guy as well as the old dog. It has helped me pick out what home theatre products are right for me, as well as in my price range. I enjoy learning about these new products and different terms for their capabilities every month.
