CINEMA,TELEVISION,THEATER,BOOKS: TIME LISTINGS

CINEMA

Anatomy of a Murder. Producer-Director Otto Preminger’s brilliant courtroom drama involving murder, rape and outspoken language about both. James Stewart as a deceptively easygoing lawyer and Lee Remick as an accident-prone tart are excellent, but famed Boston Lawyer Joseph N. Welch steals the show as the judge.

Wild Strawberries (Swedish). For art-movie fans, the Bergman to reckon with is not Ingrid but Ingmar, a prolific writerdirector; in this haunting movie, he explores the spiritually empty space behind the busy life of an eminent old doctor.

The Nun’s Story. A dramatically admirable, brilliantly photographed, but religiously rather shallow study of a Roman Catholic nun’s inner battle between love of God and love of mankind. With Audrey Hepburn.

Porgy and Bess. George Gershwin’s songs, Pearl Bailey’s lusty singing and Sammy Davis Jr.’s diabolic portrayal of Sportin’ Life pep up Sam Goldwyn’s ponderous, $7,000,000 film version (in wide-screen Todd-AO and lush color) of America’s No. 1 folk opera.

Ask Any Girl. Shirley MacLaine plays a fresh cupcake who travels to New York, tries to keep all the boys from nibbling the icing.

TELEVISION

Wed., July 29 The U.S. Steel Hour (CBS, 10-11 p.m.).* One girl (Peggy Ann Garner) wants to be an actress, the other (Erin O’Brien) wants to be a housewife, and their careers get hopelessly tangled. The problem may not promise high drama, but the program is the only live dramatic show left on the summer schedule.

Thurs., July 30 21 Beacon Street (NBC, 9:30-10 p.m.).

The newest shamus in the club collects his pay as suavely as any, is just as deadly with rod and dukes. This time he and his blueblooded staff (Joanna Barnes) pull a semilegal caper, conning a con man.

Sat., Aug. 1 P.G.A. Golf Tournament (CBS, 5:30-6:30 p.m.). Dow Finsterwald will defend his title at the Minneapolis Golf Club.

Finals Sunday (5-6:30).

Jubilee U.S.A. (ABC, 8-9 p.m.). For the jukebox . set — a regular hoedown with Country-Western caterwaulers from Nashville to Denver. M.C.: Eddy Arnold, “The Tennessee Plowboy.”

Sun., Aug. 2 Johns Hopkins File 7 (ABC, 12:30-1 p.m.). Military Historian Walter Millis riffles through old pictures and eyewitness drawings in an effort to help a new generation understand what Grandpa meant when he shouted: “Remember the Maine and to Hell with Spain.” The Ed Sullivan Show (CBS, 8-9 p.m.).

Other shows revert to reruns; “Smiley’s” once-a-week vaudeville simply calls back some of its most interesting stars. This week: Sicknik Comedian Shelley Berman, Opera Star Roberta Peters, Ventriloquist Rickie Layne.

Mon., Aug. 3

The Goodyear Theater (NBC, 9:30-10 p.m.). A faithful reproduction of the terrifying training mission of a real-life jet-bomber crew. A rerun for those who missed The Obenauf Story (TiME, April 13), but worth seeing again by those who sweated out the original show.

Best Reading

For 2d Plain, by Harry Golden. This new book by the pickle-barrel philosopher who publishes The Carolina Israelite has already joined his Only in America on the bestseller list. Golden may work too hard at being a Jewish Will Rogers, but rambles on amusingly about Manhattan’s Lower East Side and the foibles of Southerners.

The Satyricon of Petronius. The salacious, raucously funny bestiary of Roman lowlife, written by Nero’s most elegant courtier, finds a witty translator in Classicist William Arrowsmith.

The Tents of Wickedness, by Peter De Vries. The New Yorker’s Peter Pun parodies the Symbol Simons of modern literature, concludes that they are juvenile, if not really delinquent.

Image of America, by R. L. Bruckberger. A French priest’s moving, trenchant essay on why America, not Russia, is the century’s real revolutionary force and the world’s best hope.

Richard Nixon, by Earl Mazo. A generally friendly but fair account of a fascinating political career.

Senator Joe McCarthy, by Richard Rovere. A balanced portrait by an able Washington reporter who convincingly presents Joe as a reckless political hipster.

The Maxims of La Rochefoucauld, translated by Louis Kronenberger. Tail feathers from man’s selfesteem, neatly plucked by the 17th century cynic who observed that “we all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others.”

Fire at Sea, by Thomas Gallagher. A suspenseful, factual whodunit about the burning of the cruise ship Morro Castle.

The Bridge on the Drina, by Ivo Andric. A Yugoslav author’s history-haunted elegy to his native land.

Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, by Simone de Beauvoir. Before Sartre and art, it was prunes and prisms, recalls the queen mother of France’s intellectuals in her absorbing memoirs.
