With regard to Scenes 151 & 152, this is what Darren wrote on his Restoration Web site:

Quote
The following is a list of scenes that are still lost and which are not present in the 129 min version recovered in 1999.

...

INT.CARD ROOM. Tracy dials the phone. INT.COTTAGE. Phone rings in the empty cottage.

Interestingly, there may be evidence that those two scenes were shot because Scene 151 appears on the call sheet for April 5, 1971 that I've previously shared, most recently in Reply #1686...

Revisiting how Scenes 151 & 152 are scripted:

...

...

                                              CUT TO:



151    INT - CARD ROOM - NIGHT                            151

       Through the door of the Card Room, Tracy can be seen
       coming down the stairs.  Large in the F.G. of the SHOT
       is the telephone.  When she reaches the bottom of
       the stairs, she tries to decide what to do.  Looking
       in the direction of the telephone, she crosses to it,
       picks it up and starts to dial a number.  HOLD ON HER
       as she listens to a ring.

152    INT - COTTAGE - NIGHT                              152

       The room is in darkness as the SOUND OF THE TELEPHONE
       can be HEARD ringing...ringing...ringing.

...

And you will no doubt recall, especially considering its number is written on its bottom right corner, that still is #17 in the NoDS Editor's Portfolio. The interesting thing about it, though, is that, unlike most of the other stills that are a part of that portfolio, I don't recall it ever having been published anywhere back in the day, or even today...

...

When I wrote that I was thinking of magazine articles and such, not foreign promotional materials. But today it dawned on me that Still #17 was used as part of the Italian Lobby Cards (note how it also features NoDS Editor's Portfolio Stills #25 & #42) -


- how soon I forget.  [easter_wink] [easter_cheesy]

An interesting thing about the Italian title of the film is that it translates as The House of the Cursed Shadows, which seems more like the film's working title, Curse of Dark Shadows, than it does the release title, Night of Dark Shadows. I wonder if that's because the Italian title was decided upon before the film was renamed Night of Dark Shadows? If so, it's sort of like the Curse of Dark Shadows title lived on...
