      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a lovely picture, with a color scheme that is warm and adds to the nostalgic setting of the movie. Fleshtones appear well balanced and blacks are deep and solid. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. Pixelization is infrequently noticed and edge enhancement, in general, is not bothersome. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
