Rieger discussed her suspicions with her fiancé, who informed the authorities. She had a piece of clinching evidence: on the right cheek of a squeaky-voiced member of the film crew was a telltale double birthmark, positively identifying her as Adelheid Schulz. Acting on the tip, police mounted an elaborate surveillance, observing-and even photographing-the suspects as they boarded Rieger's helicopter for subsequent flights. Handwriting experts examined the helicopter rental contract and concluded that it had been signed by Klar. But in a fit of inexplicable indecision, the cops failed to close in and make...
...manic performer, he was equally spirited offstage; he estimated having paid $400,000 in hotel and restaurant damages during his touring days. The day after he announced his engagement, at a party given by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, he was found dead in his apartment by his fianc...
...accused him of selling foreign currency to Soviet citizens at speculative prices-a charge that could cost him eight years in a forced-labor camp plus a five-year term of exile in the U.S.S.R.

These are definitely collector's items...
...title suggests, You Light Up My Life aspires to be heartwarming entertainment. It tells the story of a young L.A. songwriter-performer (Didi Conn) who escapes the clutches of a grasping stage father (Joe Silver), a doltish fiancé (Stephen Nathan) and a lecherous suitor (Michael Zaslow), and goes on to seek fame and fortune in New York. ("I've got to start doing my thing" is the way the heroine defines her goal in life.) Unfortunately, the clutter hides the story. Brooks spends more time shuttling extras in and out of scenes than he does developing his main...
