      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Double feature with

    Story Synopsis:
    Lewis and Gilbert (Carradine and Edwards) have high hopes for their first year at Adams College...Home Of The Atoms. But that

    DVD Picture:
    Though dated, with slightly hazy images, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is sometimes very nicely rendered. Images are generally sharp, though details appear slightly smeared at times. The color scheme is nicely saturated, with rich hues, generally accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Visual information is satisfactory in the darker scenes. There is no obtrusive edge enhancement or pixelization. Minor film grain and source element artifacts are noticed throughout. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack is remastered Dolby

    Reason #58 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to keep current with the latest A/V gear and technology, gain greater understanding of what's relevant to having a great home theatre, and filter out what's not. Learning that there are levels of quality product (not just bound by price), and once quality is established, it's more about how sight and sound appeal to individual taste.
