Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 17 to Schedule 13D on the Class B
Common Stock of The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (the "Issuer") is
being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule
13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which was originally filed
on December 23, 1999. Unless otherwise indicated, all
capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have
the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli
("Mario Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various
entities which either one directly or indirectly controls or for
which either one acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone"), Lynch
Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"), Brighton Communications
Corporation ("Brighton") and Inter-Community Telephone Company
("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"),
engage in various aspects of the securities business, primarily
as investment adviser to various institutional and individual
clients, including registered investment companies and pension
plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner of various private
investment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also make
investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their
beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D
form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners,

tional II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund
