    Special Features
    This two-disc set includes the widescreen version of the film on Disc One, with the addition of audio commentary by director James Foley and the 30-minute "Magic Time: A Tribute To Jack Lemmon." Disc Two includes the full screen version and a good selection of additional features, beginning with an additional audio commentary which can be played selectively by selecting one of the four participants (cinematographer Juan Ruiz Anchia, actor Alec Baldwin, actor Alan Arkin, or production designer Jane Musky) or played as one commentary. There is also the 30-minute featurette "ABC: Always Be Closing," a 10-minute mini-documentary "J. Roy New And Used Furniture," a 10-minute clip from "The Charlie Rose Show," a superb two-minute clip from Inside The Actors Studio (in which Kevin Spacey agrees to read a scene with a student who is so excited his hands are trembling) cast and crew biographies, and production notes.

      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on David Mamet

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a smooth, clean picture, with richly saturated hues, accurate fleshtones, and excellent blacks. Images are sharp, with pleasing details and definition. Contrast and shadow delineation are very well balanced. Edge enhancement is the biggest offense with this picture, appearing around tables, chairs, and characters throughout, but pixelization is minor. (Suzanne Hodges) A modified 1.33:1 fullscreen version (not reviewed) appears on Disc Two.

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1 soundtracks are the result of a remastering effort. There

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
