The Apartment. This funniest Hollywood comedy since Some Like It Hot (made by the same duet: Producer-Director Billy Wilder and Writer I.A.L. Diamond) packs a sharp moral without stooping to moralizing, as it traces the rise of an organization man (Jack Lemmon) who turns his Manhattan apartment into a walk-up tourist cabin for his lecherous bosses.

The Savage Eye. Plunging into the garbage-choked stream of neurotic consciousness, the camera eye follows a Los Angeles divorcee's futile quest for love, savagely exposes her mind's myths but forgets to respond to her heart.

Hiroshima, Mon Amour (French). In a film artfully woven of languorous daydreams and short, jagged episodes of violence and death, a Japanese architect and a French actress find that love can grow from the atomic rubble of Hiroshima.

Flame over India. In an Eastern version of the western, not even hordes of the fiercest Indians (Asian variety) can stop a trainload of assorted adventurers, including Lauren Bacall, from toting a threatened little rajah to safety.

Pollyanna. Walt Disney's best live-actor movie sticks to the original lachrymose plot like warm icing to a sugar bun. Intelligently acted by 13-year-old Hayley Mills.

The Battle of the Sexes. Versatile Actor Peter Sellers as James Thurber's dull little clerk who finds unsuspected strength in his filing-cabinet mind when he battles a female efficiency expert.

I'm All Right, Jack. This time Sellers is a union shop steward--a ludicrous but often pathetic petty-bourgeois Marxist--in an uproarious satire of the featherbedded "farewell state."

THEATER On Broadway

Bye Bye Birdie. Shrieking, ranting, rock- 'n'-rolling teen-agers turn this musical about an Elvis Presleyish crooner (Dick Gautier), a mamma-tied agent (Dick Van Dyke) and his leggy secretary (Chita Rivera) into an infectiously lively party.

Toys in the Attic. The women in a family discover an unpleasant fact of life in Lillian Hellman's taut drama: when their one man gets rich, he no longer needs their mothering care.

The Tenth Man. Paddy Chayefsky digs deep into Jewish mythology to find a cure for a girl with a very modern malady.

The Miracle Worker. In William Gibson's story of the dark life led by blind little Helen Keller, Patty Duke as Helen and Anne Bancroft as her teacher Annie Sullivan give radiant performances.

Fiorello! Director George Abbott's pace and pep keep New York's razzle dazzling, and the Little Flower too interesting to wilt.

West Side Story. Gang warfare in the slums of Manhattan still moves along in a lively revival, thanks to Shakespeare's inspiration and some remarkably fancy-footed rumbles.

Off Broadway

The Prodigal. A brilliantly modern Orestes.

The Balcony. In Jean Genet's ironic comedy, a house is not only a home but the whole world, and the pleasures bought there are not only of the flesh but of the imagination.

Ernest in Love. Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in a tuneful adaptation.

BOOKS

Best Reading

The Saviors of God, by Nikos Kazantzakis. This early book of aphorisms shows the intense spiritual longing of modern Greece's most noted writer; for Humanist Kazantzakis, God was, essentially, the search for God.

Three Circles of Light, by Pietro di Donate. A Saroyanesque merry-go-round, spinning to music not always merry, about Italian immigrants in West Hoboken-- the scene of the author's famed first novel, Christ in Concrete.

Homage to Clio, by W. H. Auden. At 53, Poet Auden may long ago have said everything he had to say, but his talent remains prodigious, and in this collection of recent poems, his ruminative restatements are often effective.

The Big Ward, by Jacoba van Velde. The Dutch author writes without tricks or sentimentality about an ordinary old woman who accepts death with dignity.

Through Streets Broad and Narrow, by Gabriel Fielding. With torrents of prose, antic characters and more than enough plot, the author follows the hero of two earlier novels (Brotherly Love, In the Time of Greenbloom) on a calamitous expedition to Ireland.

The Wayward Comrade and the Commissars, by Yurii Olesha. The author later found it advisable to become a docile party-liner, but in the 1920s, when he wrote the short fiction pieces in this paper- back collection, he was one of Communism's most caustic satirists.

Venetian Red, by P. M. Pasinetti. A wry, old-fashioned novel of modern Venice, concerned with such formidable matters as love, death, courage and the Fascist corruption of Italy.

Food for Centaurs, by Robert Graves. Besides writing with wit and learning about the centaurs' food (aphrodisiac mushrooms), the author renders highly personal judgments on Judas and Benedict Arnold (no traitors), afterworlds (dull) and Ava Gardner (delightful).
