Their mission: to plant the red-white-and-green flag of Italian luxury products-from $50 silk scarves to $150,000 necklaces-profitably in American turf. At last count, in an eleven-block stretch of Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, there were eleven Italian botteghe, each one apparently striving to be the most exclusive shop on its block.

...life they left behind in Nottingham. Sean Connery (Robin) is getting better looking every year and Audrey Hepburn's (Marian) return to movies was long overdue. We saw this one at Radio City in New York, but we're betting it will hold up even without the Rockettes' special Easter Show...
