      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Former Broadway dancer Paula McFadden (Mason) is in a bind. Yet another live-in actor/boyfriend has abruptly left her...except this time, the no-account has sublet the apartment they shared with her 10-year-old daughter Lucy (Cummings) right out from under them. With no other choice, she agrees to share the flat with the new lessee, actor Elliot Garfield (Dreyfuss in his Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD has a dated quality with dulled but balanced colors. Images are generally sharp, but wanting in detail and definition. Film grain is revealed throughout, as well as minor instances of pixelization. Some of the darker scenes are very "muddy," lacking definition in the shadows. Overall, the picture is mediocre, but undoubtedly is the best the film has ever looked.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby(r) Digital 1.0 soundtrack is undistinguished but seemingly well-restored. Background noise is reasonable, and dialogue has been presented at a comfortable listening level.

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
