Blue Angel. The 30-year-old Dietrich dazzler updated, with sultry Swedish Actress May Britt as the Berlin Lorelei whose siren song lures West Germany's Box-Office Idol Curt Jurgens onto the rocks.

The Magician (Swedish). Writer-Director Ingmar Bergman's latest public fantasy, full of sharp physical images and foggy symbols; the story of a mid-19th century Mesmer and his touring Magnetic Health Theater, whose members include his wife (Ingrid Thulin), masquerading as a male helper, his witch grandmother, an ailing actor and an oversexed coachman.

The Man Upstairs (English). A taut, offbeat thriller, crisply written and directed, about a psychotic scientist holed up on the top floor of a rooming house, and how his fellow lodgers coax him into coming down.

North by Northwest. Director Alfred Hitchcock's implausible, entertaining mystery, with Gary Grant as a Madison Avenue adman up to his immaculate collar in spies and counterspies, among them Eva Marie Saint and James Mason.

Last Train from Gun Hill. A slick, saddle-soap opera of TV's "adult" school, with Anthony Quinn and Kirk Douglas shooting it up and Caroline Jones as an appealing tart.

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

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 sent her to her calling, is too antiseptic to come alive. The story, though, is a natural, and the camera work in Africa dazzlingly beautiful.

Porgy and Bess. George Gershwin would spin like a top at the heavy, wide-screen pageant that Producer Sam Goldwyn has fashioned from his folk opera, but nothing can stop the tingle of Gershwin's wonderful songs.

THEATER

On Broadway

A Raisin in the Sun. Lorraine Hansberry's poignant prizewinning first play about a Chicago Negro family that yearns to leave the black South Side jungle for a place in the white suburban sun.

J.B. Out of the verse of Poet Archibald MacLeish and the theatrical verve of Director Elia Kazan, a businessman's Job comes excitingly alive.

La Plume de Ma Tante. If the producers of this madcap French revue chance to do a sequel, the late Wallace Stevens provided a title: Le Monocle de Mon Oncle.

My Fair Lady, with Edwardian charm, The Music Man, with mid-American corn. and Flower Drum Song, with Oriental flair, make a trio of memorable musicals. Redhead cuts a nifty caper--and the fanciest footwork is Gwen Verdon's.

BOOKS Best Reading

Lover Man, by Alston Anderson. Fifteen expertly told short stories about life among Negroes of a small Southern town establish the author as a first-rate writer, on his first try between hard covers.

On a Balcony, by David Stacton. An astringent tale, several notches above the usual historical novel, of Egypt's neurotic Pharaoh Ikhnaton and his attempts to replace the old gods with a new and self-centered religion.

More Than Meets the Eye, by Carl Mydans. A vivid written account (no pictures) by a crack photographer of nearly a quarter-century spent covering the world's battlefronts.

Surgeon at Arms, by Daniel Paul with John St. John. In September 1944, British Field Marshal Montgomery ordered an airborne attempt to outflank the Siegfried Line, and a British battle surgeon who tended the wounded of that unsuccessful mission writes movingly of blood, death and capture.

Advise and Consent, by Allen Drury. The novel is overlong (616 pages) and the prose something less than sparkling, but New York Timesman Drury knows his way about Washington.

The Frozen Revolution, by Frank Gibney. An expert reading of Poland's cliff-hanging predicament, halfway between subjugation and freedom.

The Satyricon of Petronius, translated by William Arrowsmith. A classicist provides the best English version yet of the Priapean satire by Nero's arbiter of elegance.

Richard Nixon, by Earl Mazo. An expert biography, flattering but far from a campaign puff piece.
