I call her a witch, but she is not a promiscuous variation on Sinister Madonna (the Hunter girls?), classic marble zombie who ruled with an iron broomstick. No, Desire tells of human witches and the witchcraft of love. Strange fires burn here, and one could look a long time without understanding. Apparently Anastasia is destroying herself.

And since Daddy was Nazi Reichsmarshal Hermann Goring, the city of Cologne thought it prudent to turn over the priceless painting. Daughter Edda Göring, now 29, has more or less owned the Madonna ever since, though last week she lost another round in her court fight to keep from returning the painting. Edda's lawyers have already slipped and dodged for 18 years, and she has two appeals left...
