THEATER
On Broadway She Loves Me manages to be romantic about love in an Old Budapest perfume shop without being stickily sentimental.
The lovebirds (Daniel Massey and Bar bara Cook) are ardent and charming, and the songbirds can really sing, a forgotten treat in a musical.
Photo Finish stages a lively dead heat between an old party of 80 and his 60-, 40-, and 20-year-old selves. Author-Director-Star Peter Ustinov has con cocted this stunt play, and with the help of an elegant and able cast, he pulls it off wittily.
Enter Laughing, by Joseph Stein, takes a brash, gauche, inflammably youthful would-be actor from a hat-machine factory to some bogus acting-school footlights. The play is sketchy but captivating and Alan Arkin is a clown's clown.
Strange Interlude, by Eugene O'Neill, shows its age, but the skill and fidelity of the Actors Studio company make this revival a vibrantly living theatrical experience. Geraldine Page is at the top of her form, and Broadway form rarely gets any finer.
Never Too Late, by Sumner Arthur Long. Unexpected fatherhood at 60 turns Paul Ford's face into a contour map of morose grimaces, the mere contemplation of which sends audiences into typhoons of laughter. Orson Bean mirthfully adds to the fundemonium.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee. A history professor (Arthur Hill) and his bitter half (Uta Hagen) mercilessly tell all the news that's not fit to print about each other.
Little Me wears its high-polish frivolities with a sophisticated air. The musical's funmaster-in-chief is Sid Caesar, who has never been droller.
Off Broadway
The Boys from Syracuse. Breeding tells, and this musical is a thoroughbred, originally sired by Shakespeare (Comedy of Errors) out of Plautus. The Rodgers & Hart songs are a lilting delight, and a Most Adorable Cutie award should be bestowed on the bewitchingly gifted Julienne Marie.
Six Characters in Search of an Author, by Luigi Pirandello, offers a model revival of a modern classic.
CINEMA
Hud. Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas, Brandon De Wilde, and Patricia Neal make up almost the entire cast of this magnificently pungent film about an unregenerate heel, a decent old man, and a boy who makes a choice of heroes.
Pickpocket. French Director Robert Bresson launches an excursion into the cold world of Nietzschean philosophy as he takes his hero, a pickpocket, through a series of emotional situations. The film propounds paradoxes: that man must sin to be saved, that the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions.
The L-Shaped Room. The plot may be soap-operatic, but sensitive direction and good performances by luminous Leslie Caron, hawk-faced Tom Bell and oldtime Vaudevillian Cicely Courtneidge help to make this story about love, loneliness and unwed motherhood more than worthwhile.
Winter Light. The protagonist of this somberly beautiful picture is a Swedish pastor who not only fails himself but fails everyone who needs his help because he doubts the very existence of God. Ingmar Bergman's latest film is colder, darker and even more relentless than the others.
Doctor No. Ian Fleming fans will get more than their money's worth in this somewhat overdone dollop of derring-do about British Agent 007, a mad scientist and an atomic furnace. Sean Connery is properly urbane and unbelievably brave as James Bond. 55 Days at Peking. The Boxer Rebellion gets the wide-screen treatment, and the result is a full-scale war. Among the foreign devils who make the Chinese so mad are David Niven, Ava Gardner, Charlton Heston and Paul Lukas.
Two Daughters. A gentle and witty two-part film from India's Satyajit Ray, it speaks a universal language of quiet comedy and deep emotion.
BOOKS
Best Reading
Elizabeth Appleton, by John O'Hara. You can get the girl out of the Social Register, but you cannot get the Social Register out of the girl, O'Hara seems to be saying in this sharp-eyed study of a Southampton girl who married down into academic life.
Anti-lntellectualism in American Life, by Richard Hofstadter. Anti-intellectual-ism, argues Hofstadter, is part and parcel of democracy, and he demonstrates the point with lively discourses on famous anti-intellectual mavericks and movements.
The Rock Garden, by Nikos Kazantzakis. In this transparently autobiographical novel, the great Greek poet-novelist describes a 1936 trip to the Orient, where he saw with depression but grudging admiration "a new human type" emerging against the ancient beauties, as the Japanese girded for war.
Memories, Dreams, Reflections, by C. G. Jung. A fascinating autobiographical account of the dream life of the great Swiss psychologist, who, in rejecting Freud and in pursuing his own mystic world of psychic energy, at last turned his back on much of the scientific thought of his own time.
The Shoes of the Fisherman, by Morris West. Catholic Novelist West imagines a Russian who becomes Pope just as his onetime interrogator becomes head of the Soviets. The resulting moral dialogue between God's man and Communism's master is woven into a texture of high drama.
The Decline and Fall of Lloyd George, by Lord Beaverbrook. An intimate account of the events that in 1922 ended the career of one of the greatest of England's Prime Ministers, by a man who had a large part in his downfall.
