John Monks, Jr. produced and directed the picture, and collaborated onthe screenplay with Richard Goldstone.

The background for "No Man Is and Island" was filmed in the Philippines. The cast includes Hollywood and Filipino actors Among the latter is Barbara Perez, a captivating young beauty who does much to keep the sailor alive during his long hideout in a roc kv hillside cave 'Damn the Defiant." Columbia's dramatic film in Cinemascope and color, arrives Wednesday at Loew theaters all over town. Alec Guinness, Dirk Bogarde, and Anthony Quayle head the cast.

23. Arkadin's history be rewritten. In the film, he hires a special agent to do it, and It is through the eyes of this young man that we watch Arkadin's past emerge from a fog of immorality and worse. Heie, of course, lies the trouble. Fur Welles, always a master of the Bright Idea, falters when it comes to real ideas Arkadin.

for all that are told to understand and sympathize with him, remains an evil man It is just that his conscience, like thee eclair, lias gone a trifle sour In short, another exercise in bourgeoi-, imagination. It was the same kind of fault that flawed the superb cinematic superstructure ol Citizen Kane" --the scene at the incinerator where the key word Rosebud turns out to be the name I a childhood sled Orson is, at heart, a very sentimental lellow.

Others in the cast: Elaine Eden, Jean Deis, Irwin Densen and Ruth Carron.

The opening week at the Metropolitan, after an Initial "Andrea contains a "Meistejsinger" which should be notable. Rwstudled as to sets and costumes, with an outstanding cast and chorus conducted by Joseph Rosen-stock, this should go far toward restoring the Bing regime to favor among those who still remember opera at its best. i Lompan. joiows guest UnLfl.

I play a punk--a vicious, psychopathic race-hater.

Character-wise, it is probably the most despicable role since the overseer in I'ncle Tom's Cabin. There are many reasons behind nty decision. One was the fact that I wanted to do a picture for Stanley Kramer. His films always have something important to say. They combine the best elements of dramatic excitement with a provocative theme, making memorable movies every time.

Once I had read the script, I knew that I wanted to play the role more than anything I had ever done in ray life. There were people wrio advised me not to depart from the "romantic image" I had created in my past portrayals. Well, I don't want to be an The role in "Pressure Point" gave me the opportunity to play a straight dr.iinatii' part without singing a single note. It seems that Kramer has an uncanny facility for offbeat casting in his films. Fred Drama Group Sets Opener The Redwood Players, a new drama group in Canarsie, will present its first production, "The Fifth Season," at Wilson High School, 101 st and Avenue Nov 30, Dec 1 and 2 Mrs.

Pearl Minsky, founder of the group and mother of three children, is working for her A at Brooklyn College. Her husband Hal, a reading consultant with the Board of Education, is director. He has appeared on television. The group has 35 members and is sponsored by the Redwood Civic Assn. Into this cheerful scene Albee injects a young couple named Honey and Nick.

Honey is sweet -and afraid of having a baby and Nick is a freshman biology instructor who dresses like Chubby Chekker and does a mean twist. The characters are real alright, but the play is not. Viewed against the Ivy walls, of academe, they are ludicrous and unbelievable. Why a college campus, Ed? Why not a garment loft on Seventh Avenue? The faculty members and wives we know behave a good deal more insidiously in their haired of each other. for the acting, UtaHagen is magnificent.

As Martha she dominates husband, play, and theatre. A word of praise is also due Melinda Dillon, who spends a lot of time throwing up in the bathroom. Adorable.

IJ. ri ii qtN i iwoowlvw Writ; ffcoM Cmm-Ai Edward Albee's first full-length play is in three full acts, and is a full three and a half hours long. It's full of everything: humor, conflict, adultery, pathos, moments of drama.

Most especially it's full of hatred. The stuff is vomited all over the stage and Into the alslps. Everybody hates everybody. It's all about an associate professor of history at a New England University, and hy unllkable wife, Martha (did you say and how they don't get along. Martha, six years George's senior, has connections at the school.

She has--shall we say --an umbilical attachment to her father, who is president of the University. This gives her the right to talk to her mate as if he is a parolee from Kraft Ebbing, and she does. THE Wll fiKFHV lllllll i Bobby Darin Astaire didn't dance in "On The Beach," and Judy Garland played a powerful and straight dramatic role in "Judgment at Nuremburg." My role in "Pressure Point" has force, guts. If I'm successful in bringing it off to the public's satisfaction I'll have the chance to snare other challenging off-beat parts. There Is a danger, naturally, in changing from kisses to hisses on the screen, but I welcome the opportunity to make that change.

And with Stanley Kramer and Sidney Poitler both recommending the role to me, and me to the role, I know I made a wise choice. B.GRAY Continued from Pog 1 quantity, the Conservatives among the GOP.votn their own line and avoid Nelson Rockefeller in Italy when the Democrats convened. I had hopes that District Attorney Frank O'Connor of Queens would be the delegates' choice for governor. A good man, schooled In politics, with a record of public service and a reputation for running a tight ship. The European press brought me news of force-feeding the delegates the name of Robert Morgenthau.

I can't believe they seriously expected his victory, but rather were saying In closeted meetings, "We're going to lose anyway-why don't we use a sacrificial lamb?" With election but a month away Morgenthau has presented nothing stirring In thought or deed to detract from tire skillful presentations of Rockefeller. On the contrary, Morgenthau is described by one of his colleagues as "a man who looks as though he's at his own surprise party." I know of no one outside the political arena who knows a thing about Morgenthau. Or any Democrat who will privately give him a chanceof victory. The tragedy is not that the Democrats will lose the big chair at Albany--they figured to, with Rockefeller a man on his way, but rather that so weak a man at the top of the ticket will affect those lesser candidates riding his coat tall, who will have to overcome his political un-attractiveness and go it alone. The Democrats figure to get clobbered with Sen Jacob Javits and Gov.

Rockefeller opposing them, the two most powerful vote getters in the GOP, and nothing riding for them except possibly that their nominee for the Senate has been involved in the deal to release 1113 Cuban prisoners from Fidel Castro--and in experts; opinions this will bear little political fruit. The surprise to me is that President Kennedy would come to town to help Morgenthau. Surely the White House prognosticators know the facts of life. And it would seem fairly evident that personal popularity cannot be bequeathed to another. So I scratch my head when the President President comes to New York's Columbus Day parade to help the ticket, and wonder why--The ticket obviously beyond help.

I have but one real question. Who is Robert Morgenthao going to vote for? The above opinions are Mr, Gray's and do not express tit) policy of this newspaper.
