      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Hud" is based upon a novel by Larry McMurtry ("The Last Picture Show," "Lonesome Dove," "Texasville") about a man named Hud who is at odds with his father, tradition and himself. Hud, played by Paul Newman, has no interests except for fighting, drinking, hot-rodding his Cadillac and womanizing. Hud

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1-framed DVD picture exhibits black-and-white images that are presented in a nicely balanced grayscale. Whites are bright and blacks can be generally deep.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #61 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’m in the process of putting together my first home theatre system. I’m the kind of individual who likes to research products before I buy them, so that what I buy today will not be obsolete tomorrow. Widescreen Review covers all the audio and video equipment that I will need from cables right up to the HDTV monitor.
