  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Almost Famous: Untitled

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 Untitled DVD exhibits a gorgeous picture, and when comparing the same scenes to Almost Famous (which is a supplement in this two-disc set and was previously reviewed in Issue 48), image quality appears to be the same. There is some minor edge enhancement, but otherwise, the picture is clean, solid, and nicely rendered throughout. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
There are two Dolby
