Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         See Item 3 above.  The purpose of the 1995 Merger in August 1995 was to
provide Tonight's  Feature,  a limited  partnership,  with a corporate entity to
conduct an initial  public  offering of its common stock and to  consummate  the
acquisitions of several video specialty store chains.  The dispositions of stock
in December 1995 and March 1996 were gifts.  The Margin Calls were effected by a
pledgee to satisfy a pre-existing debt without any specific intent or purpose on
the part of the Reporting Person.

         The  Company has entered  into an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger by and
among Video Update,  Inc.  ("Video  Update"),  VUI Merger Corp.  ("Sub") and the
Company  dated as of July 9, 1997, as amended by Amendment to Agreement and Plan
of  Merger  dated as of  October  27,  1997  ("Merger  Agreement").  The  Merger
Agreement is included as Exhibit B hereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
Company will merge ("Video  Update  Merger")  with and into Sub, a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of Video  Update,  and each share of Common  Stock will be converted
into the right to  receive  75 shares  of Class A Common  Stock of Video  Update
(Nasdaq/NMS Symbol: VUI). Sub will be surviving corporation and the Common Stock
of the Company will be delisted from Nasdaq.  The Video Update Merger is subject
to approval of the  stockholders  of Video Update and the  Company,  and several
other contingencies,  as described in the Merger Agreement. The Reporting Person
has agreed to vote his shares of Common  Stock in favor of the Merger.  See Item
6.  Except as  contemplated  pursuant  to the 1995  Merger and the Video  Update
Merger,  the reporting person has no plans or proposals which relate to or would
result  in any of the  occurrences  listed  in  the  instructions  to  Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)  and (b) See Items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of cover pages.

          (c)  See Item 3. The Margin  Call sales were  effected  by  Prudential
               Securities  Incorporated  ("PSI") as pledgee  through  the Nasdaq
               Stock Market at prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per share.

          (d)  PSI has the  right  to  receive  proceeds  from  the  sale of the
               securities.

          (e)  This  Amendment  is filed to  report  that the  Reporting  Person
               ceased  to  be  a  beneficial  owner  of  more  than  5%  of  the
               outstanding Common Stock on November 13, 1997.
