THEATER
On Broadway
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. This musical dis covers high theater and infectious gaiety in Aleichem's nostalgic story of Tevye and his five daughters in a Russian village in 1905.
TINY ALICE. Mystification is the end result of Edward Albee's quasi-metaphysical suspense melodrama centering on the relationship between a lay brother (John Gielgud) and the richest woman in the world (Irene Worth). The burden of feeling rests on the language and a completely competent cast.
POOR RICHARD. Alan Bates plays a lovable lush and poet pursued by his own doubts and remorse--plus a sweet honey-blonde. He conquers his qualms and loses to her winning ways in Jean Kerr's sporadically amusing comedy.
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. A book clerk (Alan Alda), who thinks himself an author, and a prostitute (Diana Sands), who considers herself a model, come to grips with each other and themselves in Bill Manhoff's screeching comedy.
LUV. Murray Schisgal laughs through his characters' tears in a takeoff of a society and a theater that swim in self-pity. Mike Nichols' direction and the performances of Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin make love seem an outrageously humorous subject.
Off Broadway
WAR AND PEACE. The life force of a great novel surges through this APA-at-the-Phoenix rendering of the Tolstoy classic. The tone and thematic intent of the work have been preserved, and Sydney Walker as old Prince Bolkonski and Rosemary Harris as Natasha are supremely good.
TARTUFFE. While Moliere has suffered a slight miscarriage of esthetic justice in this broad and bouncy Lincoln Center presentation of his biting and bitter comedy, the performance of Michael O'Sullivan in the title role is a splendidly surrealistic wedding of malice and humor.
BABES IN THE WOOD. Rick Besoyan's vaudevillian version of A Midsummer Night's Dream is more akin to Minsky than Shakespeare. The humor is broad, the music is gay, the mood is light. The groundlings would have loved it.
THE SLAVE and THE TOILET cater to the white mentality that masochistically enjoys being reviled for injustice to Negroes. With painful intensity LeRoi Jones dramatizes both naked hate and the interracial love that dare not speak its name.
RECORDS
Jazz NOW'S THE TIME! (RCA Victor). After years spent stubbornly exploring the back roads of modern jazz, Tenor Saxophonist Sonny Rollins knows his way unerringly around the territory. He goes off like a firecracker in Miles Davis' Four, takes a postmeridian jaunt in John Lewis' Afternoon in Paris, nods to Charlie Parker in his dry-eyed blues Now's the Time, makes Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight sound fathoms deep.
ANYONE FOR MOZART? (Philips). The Swingle Singers, having made J. S. Bach a belated bestseller by scat-singing him (Bach's Greatest Hits), have tried to do the same by Mozart (Sonata No. 15, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik). Unfortunately, young Mozart never was as cool a swinger as the Old Wig, and the babaladelahs sound emptier festooning his classical melodies.
SALT AND PEPPER (Impulse). On the theory that two tenor saxes are better than one, Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves spur each other to new heights in Salt and Pepper, S'posin' and Perdido, though Stitt, a lively and eloquent musical descendant of Lester Young, outplays the darker, deeper-voiced Gonsalves.
NIRVANA (Atlantic). Flutist Herbie Mann and Pianist Bill Evans stage a slowdown, giving a performance that is either extremely cool or simply congealed. There are some pleasant Oriental overtones but scarcely a beat, let alone a pulse, in most of the pieces (Willow Weep for Me, Mann's Nirvana); Cole Porter's I Love You is a cheerful exception.
BLACK PEARLS (Prestige). Tenor Saxophonist John Coltrane is the featured soloist, and he zooms boldly off to do some fine, abstract skywriting at Mach 1. Meanwhile, back at the piano, Red Garland waits to deliver earthbound but agreeable interludes of up-tempo swing.
BODY AND SOUL: A JAZZ AUTOBIOGRAPHY (RCA Victor). Coleman Hawkins, the granddaddy of the tenor sax, says he got his famous full tone from trying to play over seven other horns. He managed so well that he has outblown and outclassed most other saxophonists of the past three decades. These 16 selections (1927 to 1963) bring back not only the Hawk but McKinney's Cotton Pickers, the Mound City Blue Blowers, and the bands of Fletcher Henderson, Lionel Hampton and Red Allen as well.
CINEMA
HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE. The mayhem in this nimble comedy about a man who gets drunk and marries without malice aforethought is plotted by Jack Lemmon, whose fracturingly funny performance is smoothly supported by Terry-Thomas and Italy's Virna Lisi, an import who makes hard-sell sex seem as classy as caviar.
MARRIAGE-ITALIAN STYLE. Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and Director Vittorio De Sica animate a hilarious, fiercely moral old tearjerker about a Neapolitan pastrymaker who is hounded to the altar by his tart.
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. A shopgirl submits her first careless rapture to sober second thoughts in French Director Jacques Demy's sadly cynical fable, entirely set to music and done up in candy-box decor.
ZORBA THE GREEK. The hell, the horror and the sheer animal delight of Nikos Kazantzakis' novel are served up larger than life by Director Michael Cacoyannis, with Anthony Quinn magnificently cast as the goatish old Greek who butts his way through a series of disasters.
GOLDFINGER. Another exuberant travesty of Ian Fleming's fiction has James Bond (Sean Connery) braving a mad Midas and some hilariously horrible sight gags.
WORLD WITHOUT SUN. In this fascinating, full-color documentary by Oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau (The Silent World), seven oceanauts spend a month in a manfish bowl full fathom five below the surface.
SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON. Kim Stanley simultaneously masters the dark arts of bitchery, poignancy and deadly menace in a thriller about a demented psychic who conjures up a kidnaping plot.
TO LOVE. In naughty Stockholm, a lively young widow (Harriet Andersson) sheds her mourning garb and goes overboard with a rakish travel agent (Zbigniew Cybulski) who persuades her that lust is for the living.
MY FAIR LADY. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn in G. B. Shaw's classic Cinderella story, set to music by Lerner and Loewe and newly dressed up for the occasion in Cecil Beaton's eye-popping finery.
BOOKS
Best Reading
THE WORLD OF JOSEPHUS, by G. A. Williamson.
