Special Features: including audio commentary by the director, John Frankenheimer, and an alternate ending that was not used in the film as it was released (frame grabs from the alternate ending). Languages: English and French--in both the spoken language and the subtitles. This is particularly appropriate for Ronin since it stars several French actors.

Letterboxing Versus Pan-and-Scan

DVDs often include both versions of widescreen (anamorphic) films--usually one on each side of the disc. The Ronin DVD allows you to compare the two versions.
