     This Amendment No. 2 adds the following information to Items 3 and 4 and
amends and restates in its entirety Item 5 of the Schedule 13D filed jointly by
Ellen Dinerman Little and Robert B. Little (the "Reporting Persons") with
respect to ownership of the Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") of Overseas Filmgroup, Inc. ("Issuer").  A joint filing agreement
pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) was filed as Exhibit 1 to the Schedule 13D and
is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     On October 30, 1998, an additional portion of the two options that were
previously granted to each of the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Management
Option Plan vested.  Each Reporting Person holds one option for 537,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (which is currently
exercisable for 275,000 shares as the result of the October 30, 1998 vesting of
an additional 87,500 shares) and one option for 562,500 shares at an exercise
price of $8.50 per share (which is currently exercisable for 225,000 shares as
the result of the October 30, 1998 vesting of 112,500 shares).

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction

     The options to purchase Common Stock were granted in October 1996 pursuant
to the Management Option Plan which was adopted in connection with the October

Corporation.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a)  Ellen Dinerman Little beneficially owns 4,202,778 shares of Common
Stock (including 1,000,000 shares subject to currently exercisable options and
249,560 shares pursuant to an irrevocable proxy granted by William F. Lischak to
Ms. Little and her spouse).  2,953,218 of such shares are held as community
property with Robert B. Little, Ms. Little's spouse, in a revocable living
trust.  Of the 1,000,000 shares subject to currently exercisable options,
500,000 shares are subject to currently exercisable options granted to Ellen
Dinerman Little's spouse (Robert B. Little) pursuant to the Issuer's Management
Option Plan which generally may only be exercised by Ms. Little's spouse.  The
filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that Ellen Dinerman
Little is the beneficial owner of the options granted to her spouse.

     The 4,202,778 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Ms. Little
constitute 62.4% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock (calculated in
accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)).

     The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Ms. Little does
not include (i) 600,000 shares of Common Stock subject to options granted to her

Stock subject to 

                              (Page 4 of 6 Pages)

options granted to her spouse pursuant to the Management Option Plan, the
exercisability of which is subject to certain additional vesting requirements.

community property with Ellen Dinerman Little, Mr. Little's spouse, in a
revocable living trust.  Of the 1,000,000 shares subject to currently
exercisable options, 500,000 shares are subject to currently exercisable options
granted to Robert B. Little's spouse (Ellen Dinerman Little) pursuant to the
Issuer's Management Option Plan which generally may only be exercised by Mr.
Little's spouse.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an
admission that  Robert B. Little is the beneficial owner of the options granted
to his spouse.

     The 4,202,778 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Little
constitute 62.4% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock (calculated in
accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)).

     The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Little does
not include (i) 600,000 shares of Common Stock subject to options granted to him
pursuant to the Management Option Plan, the exercisability of which is subject
to certain additional vesting requirements, or (ii) 600,000 shares of Common
Stock subject to options granted to her spouse pursuant to the Management Option
Plan, the exercisability of which is subject to certain additional vesting
requirements.
