      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While scuba diving one afternoon Detective Tony Rome (Sinatra) comes across an anchored "Lady In Cement." Shortly after, Tony is paid a visit by a giant of a man, Waldo Gronsky (Blocker), who wants Tony to find out if she's his missing girlfriend Sondra. The trail leads to a good-looking broad, Kit Forrest (Welch), whose house Sondra was last seen at. But when another girl turns up dead, Tony takes his investigation in a whole new direction. Based on the novel by Marvin H. Albert. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a slightly soft appearance throughout, though details are generally satisfying. Fleshtones can have an orange appearance, and hues vary from nice saturation to somewhat weak. Of course the picture has a dated appearance, with minor scratches and artifacts inherent in the source element. There is rarely any bothersome edge enhancement or pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
