               The facts may be summarized as follows.                                
          A.  The Basic Partnership Documents                                         
               A Certificate of Limited Partnership was filed with the                
          State of New York on July 28, 1981, under the name Greenberg                
          Brothers Partnership #8.2  The partnership was formed “to engage            
          in the general business of owning and dealing in all respects               
          with motion picture films to be acquired by the Partnership.”               
          Richard M. Greenberg and A. Frederick Greenberg were listed as              
          the general partners.  A. Frederick Greenberg was also listed as            
          a limited partner.  The general partners had “the right to admit            
          additional Limited Partners.”

          on May 18, 1982, for units of SLA.  The Memorandum states that              
          the partnership was “formed” on July 28, 1981, and that the                 
          original partnership agreement would be amended.  The Memorandum            
          further states that SLA intended to purchase the worldwide rights           
          to the motion picture “Summer Lovers” from Filmways, Inc.                   
          (Filmways).  The purchase price of the film was $6,600,000,
