The second single from the 'Made In Heaven' album was the breathtaking ballad 'A Winter's Tale'. As part of the Made In Heaven: The Films project, this song was entrusted to Chris Rodley, but his short film 'Outside-In' was not used to promote the single when it was released to the lucrative Christmas market in December 1995.

Instead, Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher created a collage of images of Montreux, Switzerland which was used instead in two forms - one with added CGI effects recreating Freddie's handwritten lyrics to the song onscreen, and one without.

Oddly, the song was left off 'Greatest Hits III' in 1999 despite it's top five placing in the UK singles charts, so the Torpedo Twins video was not included on 'Greatest Flix III', and remains unavailable on any official release.
