  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Honored as the funniest movie of all time by the American Film Institute

DVD Picture:
The non-anamorphic 1.66:1 DVD exhibits a lovely black-and-white picture, with good gray scale quality. Images are generally sharp, with nicely rendered detail and definition. Some scenes are softly focused. Fine details shimmer slightly and aliasing problems and pixelization are detected. Edge enhancement can be distracting at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
