Here's the fifth as well as one of the rare stills to preview Scene 85:

This sixth still to preview Scene 85 has taught me a lesson I never really knew.

Perhaps naively, I assumed that a still shot in color was printed in color and obviously those shot in B&W were printed in B&W. However, apparently the above still was shot in color but that version of it was simply printed in B&W because a cropped color version was published on page 69 of the DS Companion -
- and a different cropped color version was used as part of the NoDS section of the gatefold of the hoDS/NoDS laserdisk -

(And how interesting is it that 3 of the 7 NoDS stills used are from scenes that aren't even in the film?!)
(ADMIN: Edited to add a better version of the gatefold stills)
What a pity, says Samantha, I've undone all your pre-conceived notions--she tells Hortense she wants to see her immediately in the drawing room, then says to Gabriel that they finally have something in common, don't they?--they're both destined to rot in this house! She goes into the drawing room and closes the double doors, then asks Hortense where Tad is. Upstairs in his room, reveals Hortense. Samantha tells her she's going to be leaving Collinwood. This shocks Hortense, who reminds her she just told Mr. Gabriel... I told Mr. Gabriel what I wanted him to hear, says Samantha--I'm going and taking Tad with me--I want you to go and pack his clothes--do it secretly, do you understand? You mean you're taking the boy without Mr. Quentin knowing about it? asks Hortense. That's exactly what I mean, says Samantha, tonight, at seven o'clock, I want you to go to Tad and tell him I'll be at Rose Cottage, and I will go there sooner and wait for you to bring him to me. Hortense objects--suppose she gets caught? Samantha assures her she has always been very kind to her. No one has been as good to me as you, agrees Hortense. Then please stop worrying, says Samantha, and do as I say. Gabriel is listening closely outside the doors as Samantha orders Hortense to bring her to her as soon as it gets dark.
And if this fourth still looks familiar -

- that might be because it was used as inspiration for both versions of NoDS' A poster:
It's interesting, though, that Angelique's arm is on the outside of Charles' arm in the poster's artwork, yet it's on the inside of his arm in the actual still. It's also interesting that Angelique is semi-transparent for the color version of the poster, implying she's a ghost, yet she's human in the actual still and doesn't appear transparent in the B&W version of the poster...
