Jackson's hot-selling Moonwalker is an eight-segment 94-min. tour through . the Glove's wide-ranging but uneasy imagination. Besides a lively montage of Jackson's career ("a retrospective of 24 years of hits"), Moonwalker includes some nifty clay and cutout animation, as well as a "centerpiece" spun out around Michael's superbly spooky song Smooth Criminal.

Says Greenberg: "He said that I had given him a pair of gloves on the Bowery five years previously and that now he was married with two children, and he wanted to give me $20 to buy more gloves. I told him the same as I tell others who want to write me a check: no thank you. You spend the money on gloves, and you give...
