      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gene Kelly stars in a story about an 18th Century village in the Scottish Highlands. Kelly and Johnson play two cynical hunters from New York City who stumble upon the ethereal village of Brigadoon, which materializes from the mists only one day each hundred years. There, Kelly falls in love with the town

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released, non-anamorphic DVDs, this new anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD exhibits better image quality throughout, though still fairly dated in appearance. Color fidelity seems slightly undersaturated, but hues are otherwise well balanced. The source element is revealing of film grain and minor dirt and scratches. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
