    Special Notes:

    Story Synopsis:
    When the wife and kid are away...the husband will play. At least that

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD exhibits a dated, but nicely rendered picture. Images are generally sharp, but fine details are wanting at times. At times images appear softly focused. Colors are well balanced, and generally natural throughout, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The picture is clean, with few distractions. The source element is revealing of few artifacts, but the restoration of the original faded and yellow elements (as compared in the extra features on the disc) is impressive. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 3.0 remastered soundtrack features rather palpable stereophonic imaging with the music. Dialogue is characteristically directional, though voices also tend to be spread across the screen. Sound effects are in general conservatively placed with some directional positioning. This soundtrack, though certainly revealing of the vintage audio

    Reason #5 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is a comprehensive collection of articles that help me shape my Home Theatre Experience. The new equipment section is a great resource when planning for new component additions. The equipment reviews also help to identify equipment attributes that may serve well in my environment. As a newcomer to the field of home theatre, Widescreen Review has helped me to understand some of the terminology, and to begin building my home theatre repertoire. In this area, it is helpful to review the reference systems descriptions, which also give ideas on how to set up my room. The DVD and D-VHS release schedule are also useful. All in all, Widescreen Review is a very easy-to-read magazine with great editorial content and a fantastic artistic layout, including great advertisement pages, which in the end helps me gain control of my Home Theatre Experience!
