They play two of seven ancient women seated in a rather Bergmanesque manner around a round lunch table, talking of wars, husbands and sons, to the accompaniment of Beethoven 's Seventh Symphony playing too loudly on the phonograph. Schell, as the director of only one other picture Love" 1970), emerges here as multi-talented pro, with a faultless eye for casting and a sure sense of the best in unobtrusive camera handling.

It is a visually exquisite film not too difficult an accomplishment these days but still a welcome one, especially uhen done with such style and consistency. "The Pedestrian" lacks the volcanic momentum of and "The Day of the Jackal," but what it misses there it makes up for in rich character development and a simple bit of instruction for those of us wtio, without questioning and without considering the moral consequences, go about life "just following orders."

The paper breaks the story, Giese sets up his legal defense while losing the one in his mind.

His grandson asks to be told a bedtime story, and the aging industrialist tells of a traveler who meets death and asks death, "Where is happiness?" The grandfather replies, possibly for himself, when he has death answer. "Follow me." Gustav Rudolf Sellner, a German stage director and director of the Berlin Opera for ten years, makes a brilliant screen debut as Giese, a subtle but expressively ranging performance we rarely see, even in films of quiet action, such as this. Appearing briefly are Dagmer Hirtz as Giese's daughter-in-law and Schell as his son.

Amusements Staff Much like "The Day of the Jackal" and Maximilian Schell's new film, "The Pedestrian" unfolds briskly, quietly and mechanically like a well-oiled precision instrument wasting no moment but sparing no detail.

But unlike the other two, "The Pedestrian" quickly adds the element of deep personal conflict.The element becomes, in fact, the movie's core, and provides us with the best story to date of a war criminal, his troubles with himself and with his accusers. Though not the first directorial effort by Schell, it is his first screenplay, and a marvelously perceptive one it is. His story is of an important German industrialist who, as a Nazi officer, participated in the "liquidation" of a Greek village in 1943. Heinz Giese's crime is not one of actual commission he didn't pull the trigger but of approval. As a bystander he must share the burden of "collective guilt, collective shame," which is so essential to Schell's thesis.

At work in the investigation of Giese's sordid past is a vigorous press. And as in the reporters are young, slightly unscrupulous, devious. But they somehow project a sense of justice $nd fairness, a reluctant but necessary bit on their eagerness. The film's opening scene shows the reporters and editors digging up information and witnesses to Giese's acts, hiding behind buildings and cars, snapping pictures and even entering his lush home under false pretenses. It could just as easily be an assassination conspiracy as the hoped-for scoop of the year.

After a while Giese discovers the rather conspicuous investigation and thinks for a moment someone is trying to get the goods on him for supporting a mistress. The mistress is the lovely Gila von Weitershausen, a talented performer with a kind of Mia Farrow-Jennifer O'Neil look of youthful innocence. But it is bigger goods the news hounds are after, and after finding one of the M.M.i.iii.'.i.i.i.ijgi CHAPARRAL THUR.

No Cover If By JOHN CARMODY Washington Post LOS ANGELES Public television plans to "start beating the bushes for new writers and talent" this month as an ambitious three-year. $10 million project gets under way to "re-establish original drama on TV for the first time in years." That's the promise of James L. Loper, president and general manager of public TV station KCET here. His production center has landed the The New American Television Drama Project after more than two years of negotiations. A first-year funding of $2.2 million has been received from the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

Loper said the first year of the project will be spent in 'finding the talent wherever it's lurking, in regional theaters, colleges or universities, or wherever." and to making over-all plans for 36 one-hour or 90-minute dramas to be seen on public TV during the 1975-76 and 1976-77 seasons. Talent search and selection of scripts and directors will be under the direction of Barbara Schultz. a former executive producer of CBS' Playhouse 90, who will be artistic directorof the project unit. Under the terms of the three-year grant. KCET will produce only 50 per cent of the 36 dramas, 12 of which are urs.
