...been generally accepted that the creation of the G.D.R. marked a turning point in European history. Now you could reverse the whole thing and say the disappearance of the G.D.R. would also constitute another turning point.

DeVito's transformation of a sun-splashed showplace into a haunted house is admirable, and so is his pacing. Turner is, needless to say, beautiful when she's angry -- sinuous, calculating, purring before she pounces. Douglas makes something equally good of the self-righteousness and self-pity with which some males exercise territorial imperatives.

"With so many choice properties on the market, like Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue, who would want Altman's? I hate to say the store was old, but it was outmoded." KMO Realty Partners, which now owns Altman's real estate, controls the rights to the store's name. KMO will probably try to make some use of it, perhaps selling it to an apparel maker or retailer, but the B. Altman name will probably...
