Our Man in Havana. Ably abetted by Alec Guinness, Director Carol Reed has turned out a screen version of Graham Greene's bestseller that starts as a wonderfully silly spoof of a spy thriller and winds up tickling the ribs with the well-sharpened stiletto of political satire.

Rosemary (German). The true-life story of Rosie Nitribitt, a shabby little prostitute who eventually became one of the highest-priced women in West Germany. Bubbly champagne farce turns into solemn social comment.

The Bridal Path. This bucolic bit of Scottish dialogue has to be heard to be misunderstood, but Bill Travers' romp through the heather is a high jink andiddle.

Ivan the Terrible: Part 2--The Revolt of the Boyars. The second installment of the late Sergei Eisenstein's lugubrious but magnificent film chronicle of the reign of the Russian Czar bears little resemblance to the historical figure, is frankly (and cunningly) intended to represent Stalin.

Black Orpheus (French). An astonishing adaptation of the old legend, excitingly played by a Negro cast and impressively directed by Marcel Camus.

The 400 Blows (French). A stunning metaphorical story of a small boy's flight toward freedom and away from the uncaring, desperate world of his parents.

Ben-Hur. One of the biggest bestsellers in U.S. history turned into the most expensive ($15 million) movie ever made.

THEATER

On Broadway The Andersonville Trial. With overtones of Nuremberg, the play re-creates the post-Civil War trial of the Confederate officer who ran the camp for Union prisoners at Andersonville, Ga. Playwright Saul Levitt ultimately fails to search out the moral issue he raises; but the courtroom battle, theatrically charged by Director Jose Ferrer, makes a better-than-average evening of theater.

Five Finger Exercise. An underground fire, fed by the mutual antagonisms in a pointedly average family, finally breaks out on the surface and nearly kills a young tutor. A deft effort by British Playwright Peter Shaffer.

Fiorello! In a light and unpretentious musical, Actor Tom Bosley makes the most of his Little Flower pot, startlingly returns to New York City the effervescent personality of Mayor La Guardia.

The Miracle Worker. Superb performances by Actresses Anne Bancroft and 13-year-old Patty Duke, in a far from perfect play, make extremely moving theater of Helen Keller's early life.

BOOKS

Best Reading

The Wayward Wife, by Alberto Moravia. Sex is more a scourge than an urge in this collection of sourly skilled short stories, as the Italian author shows once again that in the man-woman relationship, it is not the differences but the distances that matter.

Brazen Chariots, by Robert Crisp. For the men of the tank corps, the baptism of fire was often a requiem. They have at last received a literary citation from a gallant South African major in the British army, who was himself wounded fighting against Rommel.

Boswell for the Defence: 1769-1774, edited by William K. Wimsatt Jr. and Frederick A. Pottle. Bozzy gives a spirited account of his early, tumultuous years as husband and Edinburgh attorney. Volume VII of the Yale series.

The Last Valley, by J. B. Pick. An existential parable of men, caught in the senseless violence of the waning Thirty Years' War, who search for clues to the meaning of a gorily absurd world.

The Sage of Sex, by Arthur Calder-Marshall. A slyly barbed and engrossing biography of that eminent Victorian, Sexologist Havelock Ellis. It appears that what Ellis did not know about sex could and did fill volumes, and that only past 60 did he personally master the subject.

The Good Light, by Karl Bjarnhof. Finding words for the things that are too terrible for words, this sightless author goes on with the fictionalized chronicle of his descent into blindness. A luminous sequel to its moving predecessor, The Stars Grow Pale.

Charley Is My Darling, by Joyce Gary. With his customary warmth and humor, the author in this early novel tells about a little devil of a slum boy evacuated to an English village during the blitz.

Where .the .Boys .Are, by Glendon Swarthout. The annual spring invasion of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. by beer-fueled collegians becomes, in this humorous novel, a comedy of Eros.
