Federal District Judge Jacob Mishler of Brooklyn ruled this month that Eliçofon, now 77, must return the paintings whose value is now estimated at up to $5 million apiece, to the Art Collection of Weimar, a museum in East Germany. In his 87-page decision, Mishler wrote that the museum "has demonstrated that the Dürers were stolen and that it is entitled as owner to possession." Of the 7,900 paintings listed as "destroyed and vanished" between 1939 and 1945 in East and West Germany, the Dürers are the only notable works that have...

...Cage II from dreary silliness. Left over from the original are Michel Galabru, blustering his way through another performance as Cherrier--the government's deputy of morality who happens to be the father-in-law of Renato's son--and Benny Luke, in the slightly offensive role of Jacob, the Black "maid" who struts around in glittery hot pants and provides the film with "racial humor."

...where are the problems? Colwin finds two and plays several variations on them. First, a young woman falls in love with a presentable man who would rather pine after her from afar than marry her. Complains the heroine of the title story: "Jacob wanted a grand event-something you would never forget but not something to live with. I wanted something to live with." In The Smile Beneath the Smile, a woman frets over the behavior of her hot-and-cold-running lover: "Andrew, if she agreed to see him again, would conduct their meetings like a series...
