short movie (in 1970's) about man and his wife in wilderness cabin. 
She dies and he keeps her body in cabin over night.  He hears struggle
at night (dark) and is afraid her body is being mauled by animal.  He
wakes in AM to find his wife is intact but finds her with animal fur
in mouth implying she fought the animal and won.  Any idea what is the
name of this movie?  I saw it as a kid and it scared me and want to
see if it still has the same effect on me.

Clarification of Question by colombiano13148-ga on 19 Mar 2006 09:56 PST

The short film I am looking for is based on an Ambrose Bierce short
story called "The Boarded Window" (thanks to archae0pteryx-ga for the
information) produced by Alan W. Beattie.  I am wondering where I
could find a copy of this film for download and/or purchase?

Must be a film version of the Ambrose Bierce story entitled "The
Boarded Window," which you can read here:

I think you are 100% correct on your assessment.  I found a 1973 short
film by Alan W Beattie that fits the description.  The only problem is
that I can't seem to locate a copy to purchase anywhere.  Any ideas?

You're right; this elusive video (if indeed it is the one you
remember) sure doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere. But it does
appear to exist in several library collections, including:

William Patterson University of New Jersey:

or even
Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, NH

For locating a copy near you, you could try searching at World Cat.
There do seem to be some out there, as a search in my state alone
turned up a half dozen copies:

For possible purchase, you might try the "last resort" of video
searchers, the video detectives at "A Million and One World Wide
Videos," who will search for you, for a fee. They claim they can get
any title ever produced. Check 'em out here:

Good luck!
