Question
Can you name this film, basically a red-headed women (i think) is engaged to a doctor, and she takes him to meet her old friend from college, A blonde women and her fiance (the doctor) falls for the blonde women who is a singer, The blonde women and the doctor get married and he changes to a plastic surgeon and keeps her looking young for along as possible, when the ginger women runs into them both looking better than she ever did (this is about 10 years later) And she got a magic potion from a black haired women in a manor which rejuvenates your beauty, but she tells her to look after herself, basically she turns young and realizes the ginger women has done this, they end up fighting over the doctor and end up looking like dead corpses so ask the plastic surgeon to paint their faces to make them look alive and i think he leaves them both and they live alongside eachother falling to bits, and at the end they go to the doctors funeral where i think he has had children and leave falling apart.. I actually think this film was made in the 90s, perhaps 80s...

Answer
Hi Lewis.,

Yes, I know the film you're looking for.  It's the 1992 nutty flick, "Death Becomes Her" starring Myrl Streep and Goldie Hawn.  You can read the
complete story line at:    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Becomes_Her
It's available at : www.amazon.com.
