I hope I'm wrong, but I was looking for it a couple of years back and found something to that effect in a couple of different books. Maybe that's exclusive to where that occurred, and there are examples from elsewhere still around. Couldn't find them, though!

...sets exist mostly in written records, and the actual mechanics and appearance of them are guesswork. Which, if that's right, is heartbreaking, but man, Gilliam sure brings it to life here.
(and yes, that performer is amazing)

If I remember correctly (I probably don't) the big post-Baroque theater design guy who took over in Paris(?) didn't like the kind of effects-oriented scenography and destroyed all of the sets and records to ensure that it couldn't be revived; most of the documentation for these kinds of moving...

From 20+ years ago in another town, I doubt it, but HMMMMM.

I checked out a LOT, but it would at least give a list from which to narrow things.

It certainly FEELS the same and has very much the same orchestration style, but I don't think that's it. It's close enough in style to suggest that what I'm thinking might be another Mancini movie. Going through the soundtrack to be sure! (please thank your wife)

Whoops! Thanks!

Did not realize! Thanks so much, Steven.

Now I'm gonna be real mad we never got a Lion in Winter with McShane as Henry and Sewell as Richard

I never put together that overlap but ABSOLUTELY

Didn't really like Maggot's hat and don't know that wide-brims work with the way I draw hobbit ears, so going hatless instead.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it's better to go with shambling ghoul or Sutton Hooish Draugr but I figured the latter makes more sense with all the ceremony and trinkets and such

More roughs for characters from the pre-Rivendell part of the adventure: the barrow-wight and Farmer Maggot (with Fang, Grip, and Wolf)

😁

Glad to, thanks for reading!
