The management will present them during a buffet lunch. Everybody and everything around Mr. Garner is schooled to give him the impression that the year really is 1950, and so naturally, he talks readily to his helpful fellow Americans. Mr. Taylor easily gets the vital information the Nazis want within the allotted time 462-7890 or 673-2276 i a B.t.L.u.

AhmImi In MrKcftSDOrt Auld Acquaintance NEW YORK The bright red hair stood out in the crowd gathered for cocktails and conversation at the Central Park West apartment of an old friend. The pretty face did, too. It looked familiar. "You know Mrs. Arthur Penn, don't you?" an acquaintance 7J mm Tram nuiriuw" nCl wav introduction.

Kaid by Stanley lias Aic Suspense Film It's '36 Hours' By LEE McIXERXEY THE TWO funniest words in films today are, "Heil, Hitler." What a bungler he was. His top staff officials knew the when and where of the Allied invasion of France, yet on June 6th, 1944, who was in the wrong place? The Germans were. And who ha won the war? Ah yes, the comfort of victory is a big comfort, and helps the enjoyment of the suspense- drama, "36 Hours," which is all about what the first paragraph here is about. THE WILDEST SPY SNEAK PREVUE TOMORROW AT 8:15 P.M. of 36 hours.

The story holds its shape despite some large questions of logic, such as why the Germans would trust a Jewish girl as a most important link in their plot. I don't think A PERLBtRG-SLATDN PRDDUCllOfi JAMES "It was a back-breaking job," Mr. Tenn says, "but the back hreakingest job of all was the one Sammy Davis, Jr. had. How that worked.

"Do you remember everything he said?" a disguised Storm Trooper asks Mr. Taylor as they walk away from Mr.

Garner's room after he tells them the Allied plans. JAMES GARNER What the hell. TONIGHT 8:30 P.M. "lie may," she replied graciously, "but probably under another name my maiden name." IVnn mentioned her maiden name and the pieces came together immediately. TVgcy Maurer.

of graduate of the Carnegie Tech Drama school lass of a promising- young Broadway actress in her post Commencement days and frequently featured as well on the binall screen. In one early television drama, co-starred with Jackie Cooper, she had been directed by Arthur Penn, and Cupid was standing in the wings. A short time later, Peggy Maurer became Mrs. Arthur Tenn. Some six years ago, on a week-end visit to Philadelphia, there had been another re introduction to Peggy Maurer.

She had just opened there in "The Loud Red Pat- I YOU MUST SEE IT FROM THE BECINNIKG TO BELIEVE 37 MI' ill MM Feature) Vm.s The film carries pretty well. Perhaps it's more a man's entertainment than a woman's, though James Garner, as the handsome American major superlatively tricked by the Nazis, is the boyish yet all-man sort the girls easily take to. Maybe he says "what and where and how the hell" too often; but probably he has the right, since, after all, when he loses consciousness it's 1944 and when he wakes up it's what! 1950? "Where the hell has the last six years gone?" Mr. Garner worriedly puzzles, while his doctor, Rod Taylor, and his nurse, Eva Marie Saint, murmur their reassurances. He had just lost his mem yet how he survived." There was some talk around Broadway of sending out a road company next season.

"I don't see how that could be possible," Miss Maurer suggested, "because without Sammy Davis, there would be practically nothing." Her husband agreed. Mr. Penn's favorite actress next to his wife, of course, but she has retired is Anne Bancroft. "Annie," he thinks, "is the finest instinctive talent that I know of. Greatness is a word I don't like to toss around loosely, but if anybody approaches it, she does." The Penns had only recently seen "The Pumpkin Eater" (now playing in Pittsburgh at The Guild), the first motion picture Miss Bancroft had made since Mr.

Penn directed her in 'The Miracle Worker." "It was a tremendous performance," he thought, "in a bad movie. But she overcomes its faults. Of course, I'm prejudiced. I don't think she has it in her to flaw anything. The girl has so much ability sometimes it even frightens you a bit." When "The Miracle Worker" was running on Nothing more serious to worry about.

He's in the good care of a United States Military Hospital in Germany. "We kicked the hell out of Hitler; we're occupying Germany," Mr. Taylor, in an American doctor's uniform, tells him, and shows his shoulder patch. Such elaborate cleverness, to get an important bird in the net, an American major who was at the final briefing of the Allied High Command, who knows every detail of the invasion, and, without even a suggestion of torture, to get from him, the date and the place of the coming invasion! "Of course not," says Mr. Taylor.

"Dp you?" Think of that; no hidden microphone, no taping of the information tsk. Those Germans deserved to lose. Mr. Taylor gets a a 1 whitewash of character (after all, he was born in America); and the acting generally is of a good if unexciting standard. Werner Peters is the overwritten storm trooper, and John Banner gets his deserved laughs as a border patrol man.

One of his laughs is in heiling Hitler. Hitler now there was a bungler! JfflSC ALL DAY PREVIEW TODAY ET "Ho To Murder Your OtL "Kiss Me, Stupid" 1 Stereophonic Sound 'Technicolor Super Panavision 70'From Warner Brot Prices (tax Included) RESERVED SEATS EVES. (Mon thru (Fri. Sat. Sun.

Just as they left the apartment on Central Park West, a fire-truck, its sirens wailing, screeched to a stop not too far away. "Something nearby must be burning," a guest ventured. Something else, 3,000 miles away in Hollywood, was also burning at the moment.

Anne Bancroft's ears. see me in sucn it-mt play," she lamented, and then added, "it was my last play, by the way." Hollywood Bound After the brief Broadway run, Peggy Maurer retired from the stage to become a mother and housewife. The Penns now have two small children. In a week or so, the four of them will be off for Hollywood, there to spend at least six months while Arthur Penn is directing "The Chase." The producer is Sam Spiegel, who made "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "Lawrence of Arabia," the screen play was written by Lillian Hellman, author of "The Children's Hour," "The Little Foxes" and "Another Part of the Forest." The budget will run to several million dollars. "I'm a little nervous about the prospect of doing one of (hose big Hollywood-type super-specials," the slight, boyish Mr.

Penn confessed. "My last one was quite a different thing." His last one was "The Miracle Worker," which he had also staged on Broadway. It earned Arthur Penn an Academy nomination the winner that year, 1962, by a coincidence, was the last director who has worked for Sam Spiegel, David Lean, on the last movie Mr. Spiegel has made, "Lawrence of Arabia" and it won Anne Bancroft an Oscar for the best performance by an actress. "That was a tight little work we had been connected with so long all of us were perfectly at home In it, and there were no big-budget pressures either," Mr.

Penn remembered, almost with a trace of longing. "But a director can't stand still either," he went on, "this kind of thing I'm going to do now is a challenge and besides, I don't think there's a director alive who wouldn't give his right eye to work for Mr. Spiegel, considering his reputation for quality." Mr. Penn practically knew Mr. Spiegel's track record by heart.

In addition to "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "Lawrence at Arabia," he rattled off such other titles as "On the Waterfront," "The African Queen" and "Suddenly Last Summer." Sammy's Survival Challenges have been coming at Mr. Penn quite rapidly of late. Musicals he had previously known only at a distance. Yet early last fall, when "Golden Boy" was in trouble on the road, William Gibson, who wrote "The Miracle Worker," by the way, was called In to doctor the book and Arthur Penn to re-stage the show.
