...narrative is not, shall we say, Janowitz's great strength, and neither is dramatic characterization. Eleanor (the normally perky, cuddly Bernadette Peters in sadly deflated condition) is a designer of funky hats who suffers from a possibly justifiable weakness of the ego.

At one point, two Manhattan businessmen faced off over two cookie jars and a pair of salt and pepper shakers in the form of a black chef and his wife. The final bid: $23,100 for a lot whose value Sotheby's had estimated at $100 to $150. "Spiritually, they are just wonderful," gushed Maria Olivia Judelson, wife of the victor.
