Well, some of the lines are funny and the acting agreeably comic, and Paul Mazur-sky keeps it spryly Roman classic in texture. But the superfluous conclusion the couples reunited, sober and wiser is pure old Hollywood, choking on its "redeeming social value" clause to save its red neck from scandal in the courts. tie selective groups for a round of bawdy therapy that isn't aimed so much at anything curative as at the exclu-siveness of the adventure.

Two couples, in the film, "Bob Carol Ted Alice," now at Camelback Mall, give us an example of what can happen when married folk throw themselves into a sexual freedom revelry. The are an amiable, dull lot: Robert Culp Natalie Wood Elliott Gould Dyan Cannon, your good Southern California stock of swinging bores. Culp and Cannon the types to organize a living room talk show rally: Wood and Gould the two who can't talk. But they learn at camp to throw off all inhibitions and go about their open affairs with candor and good will. Then they want to go at each other and pile in a bed for an orgy.

But deep friendship prevails, and its chilling sa-credness dulls the act. Now, I'm going to be scolded for taking the situation too literally and overlooking all tricia, John Masterson, Rosalind Beat and Diane Froese complete the cast.

It is getting so, one reads in the daily newspaper advice columns, that wife swapping isn't satisfactory enough, divorce is a simple nuisance and adultery is much too democratic for the refined pleasures of the middle and upper classes. A great deal of debauchery, as everyone knows, relies on heavy expenses; and that is part of the real horror of being poor.

That applies to the motion picture practitioner if you interrupt him sipping scotch. Jack Sher, one of Hollywood's, more prolific screen writers (and directors), winced over a half-drained glass and spoke of the United States, "With all of our transitions I don't know where we're going." Sher was one of several dozen personalities taking leave of movie industry chores for a few rounds of golf and an evening of entertainment at the Roadrunner to raise funds for two local charities. Sher will tell you that the major studios, once the giants of the motion picture industry, are on the wane.

"It's my belief," Sher opines, "that the day of the 'star' the big box office name that made a picture tick is behind us. This is the day of the 'formula' film. With our audiences (movie) today, it's the story line that sells. "The movie-goer of 1970 wants to view something revo-1 i a and different-something he can not see on television," said the writer-director. "The name of today's game in modern film-making," he said, "is material and subject and the 'big name' is no longer necessary.

Today's audiences don't need him. 'Oh, broke in LA. LOS ANGELES (AP)-The cast of "Oh! Calcutta!" was all dressed up with no place to go yesterday after the naughty naked musical folded at the Fairfax Theater. Producer Lou Shaw was reported unable to meet the payroll of the cast and crew after Tuesday night's performance. Hilliard Elkins, the New York showman who licensed Shaw to produce the nude revue in Los Angeles, said Shaw owes him and the show's creators $45,000.

The production earlier aroused the ire of City Atty. Roger Arnebergh, who had the cast arrested twice during the play's five-week run on grounds the play was obscene and lewd.
