    Story Synopsis:
    Broadway Danny Rose is a witty tale of a fast-talking small-time show biz hustler who acts as an agent for a bunch of talentless has-beens. Danny Rose (Allen) represents blind xylophonists, piano-playing birds, and crooners with drinking problems. His most promising talent is an egotistical balladeer named Lou Canova (Forte), who was popular in the

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced black-and-white 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits a well-balanced gray scale that centers at newspaper gray. There are few truly deep blacks and no bright pure whites. Still, contrast should be satisfactory. Images are a bit soft and occasionally appear slightly smeared. Source element artifacts are revealed throughout. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is big fat mono. When Pro Logic-decoded, the audio is properly placed in the center channel. At reference level, the audio is reasonably comfortable to experience. The condition of the original audio seems pristine and without noticeable flaws. (Perry Sun)

    Reason #97 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    My favorites are the articles that discuss cutting edge technologies. It keeps me up to date. I also find some of the product and DVD reviews helpful. I'm glad there are others that passionately care about delivering a theatrical experience in the home.
