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."
