I want to buy this DVD, but I can't remember the title, nor the actors nor even much of the plot. Once upon a time I looked it up and mentally filed it away as possibly a good buy if I found it at a good price. With the DDD sale, I'm hoping the price is good, but I can't look it up since I don't remember the title.

Here's what I do know:

The cover has a kind of reddish black background, kind of like a dark red satin or wine color. There is a very ornate picture frame as the primary element of the cover, sitting at an angle. It might be a mirror rather than a picture frame since I can't recall what, if any, picture is in the frame.

I think the movie is from the 70s, but the DVD was released in the last couple of years.

I think the DVD *might* be by Paramount (this could be a red herring, I've been looking at a lot of paramount DVD covers and didn't see it).

I also think one of the characters may be a dwarf. Maybe.

Ring any bells? It is driving me nuts. Thanks

Are you maybe thinking about the original Moulin Rouge , no frame at an angle but the outer edge of the box is made up like a frame...

Nope, the picture frame is definitely of a "real" object in the picture and is very baroque.

Don't Look Now?

MahatmaPetey is right - the movie is Roeg's "Don't Look Now" and the DVD is put out by Paramount. Great flick.

Looks like MahatmaPetey beat me to it.

That is IT. Thanks.

So.... now that we found the movie...what's the deal about the dwarf?

I think I can see the dwarf...in the window above Julie Christie's head...possibly wearing a yellow raincoat.....

Julie Christie I think I may have to get the DVD just for her. I rented it from Netflix and forgot how stunning she was in this flick. Can a player laser on pause eventually burn a hole through the disc?
