The Interpreter (Widescreen Edition)
An excellent interview with director Sydney Pollack illustrates his intelligent approach of making films. However, the fact the alternate ending was even shot is bewildering. Thank goodness it didn't make the final cut! Pollack makes a passionate plea for keeping the widescreen aspect for home video. Although he enjoys the squarer, full-screen picture, he tells us that panning-and-scanning a widescreen print is disregarding how he shot the film. Oddly enough, Universal released the DVD in both formats.--Doug Thomas
