      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hanover Street is a romantic story set in war-torn Europe. American bomber pilot David Halloran (Ford) meets and immediately falls in love with a British nurse named Margaret (Down). The two survive a terrifying air raid, and must answer the call of duty. As fate would have it, Halloran is assigned to fly British Intelligence Officer, Paul Selligner, on a dangerous mission. Only after they are shot down does Halloran realize that Sellinger is Margaret

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits a slightly soft character, though detail is satisfactory. The soft appearance seems appropriate for the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
