Sorry Aratlithiel, I'm not following.<P>Chain of events: Frodo enters with sting, Ring, waistcoat (I'm assuming you're meaning the mithril vest) and vial. After hacking through webs for a bit he passes sting and the vial to Sam (shot of Frodo covered in webs without these items). Frodo still has the Ring at this point. Frodo is attacked by Shelob and poisoned. Sam fights off Shelob and goes to Frodo thinking he's dead. Sam takes the Ring and the Orcs take Frodo. Frodo loses the vest to the Orcs.<P>This is how it happens in the book and I don't see how the pictures are contradicting that. Seeing that one picture you are talking about might help my confusion.<P>Editted to add: Oops, now I see what you meant by waistcoat. You meant waistcoat . Two explanations: One, hacking through webs is tiring work and Frodo removes the waist coat before proceeding or two, the shot of Frodo with the phial is a publicity shot and not from the film.<P>H.C.<p>[ May 29, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
