      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On January 20, 1942, fifteen men gathered in a villa on the outskirts of Berlin for a clandestine meeting that would ultimately seal the fate of the European Jewish population. Ninety minutes later, the blueprint for Hitler

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture (originated in Super 16mm; color timed and completed using digital intermediate technology) exhibits a cold, desaturated color scheme, which compliments the setting of the movie. Images are generally sharp, though some scenes appear softly focused or slightly smeared. Minor distractions in the way of edge enhancement and pixelization are noticed, but overall the picture nicely serves the storytelling. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
