      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Richard Attenborough

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a lovely picture, with nicely detailed images and rich color. Hues are well balanced throughout, with deep blacks. Unfortunately, edge enhancement is used liberally, but overall the picture is solid and should be quite pleasing (especially for its age). Compared to the LaserDisc (Issue 9), the DVD is preferred for improved contrast and sharpness. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #20 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am very interested in new inventions and expanding technology in products today. Also, I like to be able to look at the products and dream about owning some of them someday. I am a poor college student, so even though I can't always afford new things, I like to look and know about what's new out there.
