\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Will the corridors of power in our nation’s capital ever be the same? Not after Sunny Davis (Goldie Hawn) arrives. The ditzy D.C. cocktail waitress goes from serving drinks to serving her country after saving an Arabian dignitary from an assassination attempt.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What stands out with this release is that it\u2019s finally available in anamorphic widescreen where the original release is out of print and any new copies out there probably is full frame (1.33). As it is, not bad looking but there are heavy bouts of grain and colors are more on the muted side.<\/p>\n

The movie comes equipped with a very low key, a bit too low key, Dolby Digital Surround track. While the score came through well enough, dialogue was quite soft to the point it was difficult to discern some words.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, there\u2019s probably a reason Protocol<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t exactly a memorable entry in Goldie Hawn\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 from the 1980s as it\u2019s not exactly laugh-out-loud funny but at least excels on her charms more so than the writing or plot. This DVD release from Warner\u2019s archive site doesn\u2019t have any features but at least now includes an anamorphic widescreen video transfer.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
