CINEMA

Anatomy of a Murder. Lee Remick and James Stewart are slickly professional in this adaptation of 1958's most physiological bestseller, but even they cannot compete with a cinema newcomer from Boston named Joseph N. Welch.

Wild Strawberries (Swedish). A hauntingly beautiful, psychologically disturbing film by prolific Writer-Director Ingmar Bergman, which, in a series of cunningly conceived flash backs, reveals the spiritual emptiness that has pervaded the life of an eminent doctor.

The Nun's Story. Audrey Hepburn, as a Roman Catholic nun who decides that it is love of self rather than love of God that has driven her to--and from--her calling, is too antiseptic in her performance, but the story is a natural and the camera work almost dazzlingly beautiful.

Porgy and Bess. George Gershwin might not have been overjoyed with the heavy, static, wide-screen pageant that Producer Sam Goldwyn and Director Otto Preminger have fashioned from his folk opera, but nothing can prevent the show's songs from tingling the spine. Standout performances: Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey.

Middle of the Night. Paddy Chayefsky's highly effective saga about a lonely September widower (Fredric March) and a neurotic May girl (Kim Novak).

Gideon of Scotland Yard. Director John Ford and British Cinemactor Jack Hawkins, as well-coupled a pair as could be imagined, together track down corrupt cops, dope rings, a sex murderer, and other signs of the times.

Ask Any Girl. Shirley MacLaine, a great comedienne, uses all her charm to resist the advertising lures of Madison Avenue laps.

Some Like It Hot. Marilyn Monroe comes spectacularly out in the open, and Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon go into hiding--understandably enough, since the lads are impersonating ladies in Billy Wilder's top-of-the-mark comedy.
