RECORDS

Cleopatra (20th Century-Fox) has plenty of trumpets and tambourines, plus occasional sobs from strings and winds, but the real pleasure is reading the depth-psychology notes that Director Joe Mankiewicz has written while listening to Alex North's bullying score. Good for testing out stereo sets.

The Concert Sinatra (Reprise) was made with the use of 24 microphones, 73 musicians, four sound stages and one tired singer. The arrangements are far too. glorious for the songs (Bewitched, This Nearly Was Mine), and there is a hint of embarrassment in Sinatra's voice that the echo chamber could not erase. Still, who sings better out in Hollywood? 21 Golden Hits (Paul Anka; RCA-Victor) celebrates Anka's 21st birthday in the groovy style that he has become accustomed to in his six years as a millionaire. All are songs he wrote himself (Diana, Lonely Boy, Summer's Gone, The Longest Day), and he sings them--as if he still means every word.

Oscar Brown Jr. Tells It Like It Is! (Columbia) and sings it like it ought to be. Brown mixes songs from the wreckage of his old Kicks & Co., new originals, and some good Charles Aznavour tunes to make a richly original collection, sung with polish by the most inventive and imaginative pop entertainer around.

The Short but Brilliant Life of Jimmy Rodgers (RCA-Victor) presents 16 of Rodgers' good country songs, written and first recorded between 1928 and 1932, sung in Rodgers' reedy voice to his own guitar accompaniment. Rodgers died at 35, and to those who take his songs seriously, ballads such as Whippin' that Old TB have all the frustrating terror of a suicide note.

Everybody's Favorite (Jimmy Dean; Columbia) is the work of a singer who is still alive, but thanks to his Big Bad John, he's a legend anyway. Here he sings a potboiler collection of old faithfuls, but he sings them well in his own peculiar style.

Travelin' (Chet Atkins; RCA-Victor) is the work of country music's best guitar player, running through a wide and varied repertory that should be greeted as a valuable primer by Atkins-style pickers, as his many imitators call themselves. No one could play The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise better than Atkins does here, but he does seem a bit awkward with La Dolce Vita and other tunes of that ilk.

CINEMA

My Name Is Ivan. This extraordinary Russian film tells the tender and compelling story of the relationship between twelve-year-old Ivan, who is a spy behind the Nazi lines, and the Russian army officers who respect his bravery but worry over his loss of innocence. Director Tarkovsky not only dares to show the Soviet hero as an individual troubled with doubts and fears, but, even more surprisingly, also uses Christian symbolism in a most un-Soviet fashion.

Murder at the Gallop. Dewlaps aflap, flanks armored in stoutest tweeds, Margaret Rutherford rides into battle against crime--murder most foul. Once again she plays Agatha Christie's indomitable Miss Marple, and once again she proves that she may well be the funniest woman alive.

#189;, Cast as a director remarkably like Italian Director Federico Fellini (who in fact directed the film), Marcello Mastroianni cannot seem to get started on a new movie project. The Fellini-Mastroianni stream of consciousness lays bare the director's inner confusions and frustrations, includes dreams, snatches of vaudeville, a little sex and a lot of religion.

PT 109. In this overlong first step in the cinematic canonization of John F. Kennedy, Actor Cliff Robertson wisely jettisons any attempt at the J.F.K. speech and hair styles. It is bad enough to hear shipmates Ty Hardin and Robert Gulp talk disrespectfully to the gung-ho lieutenant, but then, they didn't realize he was going to be President. Only Kennedy knew that.

Irma La Douce. Director Billy Wilder maintains that prostitution can be fun, and Shirley MacLaine goes along with the gag. Jack Lemmon, as her Rover Boy lover boy, mugs magnificently as he bumbles about his business of trying to make Shirley go straight.

Cleopatra. As the Serpent of the Nile, Elizabeth Taylor hisses and shows her fangs; she also shows her bangles and her bosom, but little indication that she knows what made Cleo slither. If Rex Harrison is splendid as the urbane Caesar, Richard Burton is disappointing as the befuddled Antony who confuses lust with love.

Hud. This honest and absorbing film has all the elements to make it a classic in its own time: a no-compromise script, sensitive direction and photography, and a matchless cast composed of Paul Newman, Patricia Neal, Melvyn Douglas and Brandon de Wilde.

BOOKS Best Reading

Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews. A second absorbing volume produced by artful questioners who extract provocative ideas on art and life from Boris Pasternak, Ezra Pound, Katherine Anne Porter and other creators. Laval, by Hubert Cole. The first full-length biography written in English of one of modern history's most maligned (and possibly malignant) figures falls far short of excellence but is full of provocative detail. Harry, the Rat with Women, by Jules Feiffer. From satiric cartoons, Feiffer not so lightly turns to fable writing--and the tragicomic career of a body-by-Fisher king of love and narcissism.

House Upon the Sand, by Jurgis Gli-auda. A Lithuanian novelist who endured the German occupation in World War II studies the effect of Nazi bloody-minded-ness on a decent German aristocrat.

The Contrary Experience, by Herbert Read. A rarefied British critic who has lived through several incarnations in one lifetime--among them one as an anarchist and one as a successful bureaucrat--gets it all down on paper.

Elizabeth Appleton, by John O'Hara. Though it sometimes sounds like collected scenes from various past novels, O'Hara's latest explores entertainingly a new area of the U.S. social order--academic life around a small college campus. The Gift, by Vladimir Nabokov. A comic fantasy, written in Russian in 1935-37, about Russian emigre life in Berlin by the most famous literary magician now at work.
