KEVIN THOMAS Hitclicock Signs for Three at Universal Italian Exports Big List; John Ford Directs Femmes v5 in particular, a moody, deeply troubled artist for whom she modeled. It's too bad the budget didn't permit Hilliard to concentrate mtve on this man and less on a lot of luscious girls from a nearby private school who are almost always shown in stages of undress. But then this decidedly voyeuristic picture is aimed specifically at an audience that demands sensation before plot. Handsome Lee Philips, best remembered as Lana Turner's leading man in "Peyton Place," is adequate as the artist.

Always a pleasure to watch, Shep-perd Strudwick, in a small role, delivers his lines with the same distinction and wit that he brought to his part in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" the Biltmore last season. The many lovely students are unfamiliar, but Sylvia Miles, a fine New York stage actress, makes a' striking aging trollop. "Monstrosity," the second feature, is still another variation on the old Frankenstein theme. This time a mad scientist robs graves (notably those con that is genuinely surprising. Besides the deliberate salaciousness of many scenes, it has some awkward editing, poor sound and distracting music (at least two thirds of the turgid score is not needed).

Hilliard starts out with a solid premise for an entertaining psychological mystery by showing how the murder of a smalltown girl affects the people who knew her and, With "The Horror of Party Beach" and "The Curse of the Living Corpse" producer Del Ten-ney turned out two of the year's most forgettable films. While his latest, "Psychomania," in city-wide release, belongs in the same despised category, it has enough good moments to give hope for better things from him and his director-writer; Richard L. Hilliard. Spoiled by a lot of gratuitous steamy sex and the limitations of a low budget, it has several first-rate performances, respectable camera work that makes the most of its rural setting (apparently upstate New York) and an ending AL SEN EftAL CORPORATION CALL THEATRE or CR. 4-0411 8R.

Villtfi. Clariniont CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS BY PHILIP SCHEUER TIrim rVUatkw Picture Cdltar Elusiv Alfred Hitchcock has just been pinned down to his first exclusive, three-picture contract.

The announcement is made by Universal's Milton R. Rackmil. Hitchcock's last two, "The Birds," and "Mamie," were for this company. The noted director is not sure what his next will be, other than that it is No. 50.

At the next annual banquet of the Screen Producers Guild, Hitchcock will be presented with its Milestone Award. EXPORTERS: Move over, Joe Levine. Rizzoli Film Distributors is entering the American field in a big way. Chief is Angelo Rizzoli, an Italian film producer himself since 1933 and also owner of Rizzoli Editore, one of Europe's largest publishing houses. Initial U.S.

release will be "White Voices," based on the 18th-century papal decree forbidding women to perform on the stage and. with their replacement by castrati. Players include Paolo Ferrari, Anouk Aimee, Sandra Milo and Barbara Steele. Also in prospect are the latest creations of two top directors -Antonioni's "Red Desert," with Monica Vitti and Richard Harris, and Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits," with, Guilietta Masina. The 'ubiquitous Gualtiero Ja-copetti pops up (with Franco Prosperi) as producer of "Mondo Cane No.

2" and "Farewell Africa." Also in line are the Grria Lollobrigida-Stephen Boyd "Imperial Venus," filmed long ago by Jean Delannoy; Francesco Rosi's "The Moment of about Spain and the bulls; Fernandel as "Don Camillo in Russia," fifth of the series "Prima Delia Rivoluzione," directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and shown at the recent New York Film Festival; Pirandello's "Liola;" "Mamma Roma," starring Anna Magnani'and directed by P. P. Pasolini, and a "Grand Guignol" trilogy. John Ford's Ladies, Others Rather unusual for man's man John Ford to be directing women but they will predominate in "The Chinese Finale," which he will make for MGM. Among those names: Sue Lyon, Patricia Neal, Flora Robson and Anna Lee, late of "The Sound of Music" Tony Curtis will play an opportunistic teacher in a New England school in "Harry Vernon at Prep" for Warners is a George Axelrod adaptation of a book by Franc Smith Tushingham will augment the starry setup of "Dr.

Zhivago," portraying Tonya Komarov, in company with Omar Sharif, Rod Steiger, Julie Christie, Tom Courtenay and Geraldine Chaplin Michael Ansara and Barbara Eden, husband-wife acting duo, will make "The Lady From Jamaica" independently, with Barbara as the lady, a femme detective a la James Bond. This is by Joel Reisner Jay North of Dennis the Menace fame will co-star with Clint Walker in "Maya the Magnificent" in India for the King John Berry directing. Boxoffice, trade mag, names as winners in its annual poll of Ail-American Screen Favorites and for the third consecutive year Cary Grant and Doris Day. Runners up were Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine When "The Cincinnati Kid" resumes at MGM, Rip Torn and Jeff Corey will be in it Mervyn LeRoy will direct Jean Seberg, Honor Blackman and Arthur Hill; of Broadway's "Virginia Woolf," in "Moment to Moment" on the French Riviera Mr. Blackwell, fashion designer, has been written into the script of Max Youngstein's "The Money Trap," as long as the troupe is shooting scenes at his Windsor Square home anyway.

Rita Hayworth is in the movie. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Blackwell, then a Dead End Kid, played in "Juvenile, Court," her first starring film That's Hollywood Ava Gardner Night of the is being invited to do another for Ray Stark "Reflections in a Golden Eye," which Tony Richardson will direct Jeanne Cagney returns to the Paramount lot after 2 years for A. C. Lyles' western, "Town Tamer," with Dana Andrews, Coleen Gray, Terry Moore and Rip Torn.

In one scene Jeanne "breaks up a fist brawl by firing a shotgun in the fashion as her famous brother has done in so many pictures" Edd Byrnes has signed on for Allied Artists' "Beach Ball" and Don Rick-les for AIP's "Beach Blanket Bingo." Rickles role will be Big Drop, following his Jack Fanny in "Muscle Beach Party," his Big Drag in "Bikini Beach" and his Big Bang in "Pajama Party." Somehow I can't believe my eyes even as I type these things but the fact remains that AIP will follow "Beach Blanket Bingo" with "Ski Party" and then "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini." Sat.
