...night mourning his loss at every window. Everything is right with The Overcoat, except that its literal old-fashioned excellence may seem so familiar that moviegoers will mistake it for a revival. Earlier film versions of Gogol's story include The Last Laugh, a German silent classic starring Emil Jannings, and The Bespoke Overcoat, British Director Jack Clayton's Oscar-winning short of 1956. It is rewarding, apparently, to remake a durable Overcoat...
...notable for the acid it exudes. Other Hollywood directors, he remembers distinctly, knew nothing about their craft, the big studio producers rejected anyone with ideas, and the unknowns he ushered into fame -William Powell, Gary Grant-were ungrateful. He exposes in painful detail the ineptitude and neuroses of Actors Emil Tannings and Charles Laughton. By Sternberg's account, Laughton was not only incapable of delivering the simplest line, but could not begin a scene without listening to a recording of the Duke of Windsor's abdication speech, was in a constant state of panic, and froze so often...

Germany's Emil Schumacher produces scarred and wounded figures from mixed media that resembles dried clay and hardened lava. Iaroslav Serpan, a Yugoslav teaching at the Sorbonne, swishes up a storm of spiny black lines in a sea of gentle blues and greens. Through...
These northern Europeans, who claim as ancestors both such German expressionists as Emil Nolde and the Norwegian Edvard Munch, represent an increasingly individual point of view. Their kind of psychic improvisation takes its cue from dense color and tightly woven forest. Fundamentally passionate paint slingers, they are equally adept with lithographs, a sampling of which went on view last week in Manhattan's Lefebre Gallery. A few, such as Guggenheim International Prizewinner Karel Appel, are well known; others less publicized...
