      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gloria Mundy (Hawn) has no idea what's in store for her when she picks up a hitchhiker and agrees to go and see a movie with him. After the man drops dead beside her and then disappears seemingly into thin air, Gloria is convinced that there's Foul Play at hand. And when she's chased by strange characters life takes a different turn, and Gloria finds herself involved with the handsome and lovable Lieutenant Carlson (Chase). (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD is quite clean and solid; surprisingly good-looking for the film

    Soundtrack:
    This Dolby

    Reason #21 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I received a DVD for Christmas and went to the newsstand to learn all about DVD movies and Widescreen TV. I picked up an entire different magazine and out of all of them, yours was the best. It is that simple. As a matter of a fact, I just subscribed to Widescreen Review.
