I was in the mood this a.m. to watch some hoDS, mainly to look at setting details and such, so I popped in my trusty VHS recording of the film (taken from the Laserdisc release). One detail I noticed this time around I don't recall having made note of in prior viewings is that when Maggie goes into David's bedroom, it looks as if there is this small mirror on a stand rigged to one of the posts of the bottom area of the bedstead. The small rectangular mirror, if that's what it is, appears to be angled towards the closet. In the original sequence, Maggie walks to the closet and sees David hanging from a noose (not sure about the action, if any, beyond that). If what I am looking at is indeed a photographer's mirror, it would have been set up on that rig to assist in accomplishing one of the shots in the "hanging David" scene.
I just love little details like this...
I have to say I thought it was really unfair that Lela Swift did not get a credit for her work as DC's unofficial AD. Someone named Gerrity gets official credit as the AD, and Trevor Williams (I think) appears a production designer, but no sign of Lela.
