Two more posts worth a revisit:
With regard to Scene 67A, Darren Gross posted on his Restoration Web site -QuoteA selection of scenes cut from the 129-minute version that have been recovered:
...
Quentin has a flashback to 1810 where he sees Charles and Angelique sharing an intimate scene at the piano. They are interrupted by Laura who accuses Angelique of bewitching her husband.
- and I presume that also means that Scenes 66A & 67 -
CUT TO:
66A INT. FIRST FLOOR CORRIDOR - DAY 66A
Quentin, carrying a picnic hamper, moves down the
corridor. When he reaches the foyer, he hears the
SOUND OF QUENTIN'S THEME, played on a piano, seemingly
from the drawing room. Puzzled, he opens the door.
The music stops.
67 INT. DRAWING ROOM - DAY 67
Quentin enters the room, staring at the empty piano.
He walks towards it, mystified, but positive he heard
it's sound. Then he hears the theme again - this time
from the other side of the room. He turns.
- were also recovered. Darren definitely showed Scene 67A at the 2004 Tarrytown Fest, but I don't recall if he also showed Scenes 66A & 67 with it...
...
...
And as far as what's different with the descriptions and directions, we have no way of knowing at this point because these two scenes don't appear in the film as it stands - though they do appear in the 129 minute version...
(And, yes, "it's" is spelled incorrectly in the script.)
