      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Suave man-about-town Nickie Ferrante (Grant), is about to put his bachelor days behind him by marrying a young heiress. That is, until he meets singer Terry McKay (Kerr) on an ocean cruise. The two fall deeply in love and, though they are both engaged, agree to meet six months later at the Empire State Building if their feelings are still the same. But fate intervenes with the two lovers

    DVD Picture:
    When compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 9, the 2.35:1 DVD exhibits dramatic improvements, though not anamorphically enhanced. The most noticeable improvement is color balance, which appears red and oversaturated on the LaserDisc. The LaserDisc picture is horribly soft. Viewed alone, images on the DVD are sharp, though fine details and clarity are wanting. Edge enhancement is prevalent, as well as fine film grain. Artifacts are apparent throughout. Viewed alone, the dated DVD picture is generally mediocre, but the improvements over the LaserDisc are impressive.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #80 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I subscribe to several magazines because each one has a different bias, and they obviously don't always write about the same things. I purchase magazines at the newsstand when a particular article or review interests me enough that it's a keeper. I consider Widescreen Review to have the most professional bias of the home theatre magazines. Whereas something like Sound & Vision, I would consider to be more of a consumer bias. One of the things I like about Widescreen Review is the articles about the industry and technical articles (e.g., room setup). I also like its detailed equipment reviews that tell it like it is. One other item of note would be the DVD reviews. I like the ratings, the short descriptions, and the technical information.
