I have seen the last 20 minutes of this movie in 1991 or 1992 on TV. It was color and made in the 80's or early 90's. I believe it was a period piece (from Victorian era). I remember a saloon of a castle/mansion and on the main wall of that saloon there was laying a big painting portraying a misterious woman dressed in a white? robe; she was moving her eyes (scary!), looking through the dining-room (saloon) of that mansion, while two men were approaching the painting. There were also other people in the saloon at that time. The woman in the painting had A HUGE WHITE SEA-SHELL which was covering one of her breasts. Outside it was a big storm (with thunders and lightnings). My father remembers a strong ressemblance beetween the woman in the painting who was dead - she committed suicide jumping from a cliff into the sea?? - and another woman who was alive and present in that saloon. I also believe that one of the female characters in the movie was named Elizabeth, perhaps the woman in the painting. The movie was visually breathtaking; judging by the lavish furniture, the castle/mansion belonged to a wealthy family. It was a US production. It is NOT "Dark Mansions" (1986) (TV), "Lady in White (1988), "The Woman in White" (1983) (mini) or "Dark Shadows" (1991).
Could this movie be an adaptation from a novel?
