      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In For Love Of Ivy, the Austin family

    DVD Picture:
    The non-anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is dated, but colors are well balanced with full saturation. Fleshtones are nicely rendered, and blacks are deep and solid. Images are sharp, but fine detail and definition are wanting. Edge enhancement and distracting aliasing problems create distracting shimmer in the picture, but otherwise images can be quite solid. Minor source element artifacts are apparent. Overall, the picture is mediocre at best. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The DVD soundtrack is Dolby

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
