Clooney speaks (again)

March 4 2014

The Guardian reports that George Clooney, not content with urging the return of the Elgin Marbles to Greece, now wants the Mona Lisa to go 'back' to Italy (tho' it has been in France since 1518).

I'm a big Clooney fan, but sadly I have to report that Monuments Men, which I was so looking forward to, is a bit of a turkey.

Update - a reader writes:

If George Clooney feels so strongly that works of art should be returned to their place of manufacture, perhaps he could take this work back home with him...

Indeed!
