By far the most satisfying of all the films if June Steel's fine piece of cinema verite "Kienholz on Exhibit," in which she records a wide range of reactions of the throngs of visitors to the controversial A Museum show, which, of course, was highlighted by the much-discussed "'38 Dodge" display.

The film stands as testimony to Kienholz's talent as a healthy thought-provoking moralist. Worst of all the pictures is Dave Wilson and Alan Barker's "The Breadth of the Bones," in which an attractive interracial couple making love are made to bear the burden of a slough of symbols in pseudo-Resnais style.

Although the emphasis remains on the intensely personal and highly experimental and although there was nothing to match the ambitiousness, imaginativeness and discipline of the best of USC's work seen this jear, there is much less of the self-indulgent and deliberately obscure on view than there was last April. (The films can be again seen at Rovce Hall at 8:30 Nov. 3, 4, 5.) The Influence of the underground film-makers continues to grow, but the students seem to be handling it better. The degree of sophistication that has developed in the last few years is amazing.

Personal expression, much of it fresh and i 1 1 has shoved aside the easy spoof of old movies and 1 sentimentalizing of children, old people and social outcast-. The tone of many of the films is critical, pertinent rnd involved. Cheryl Hunter's "And It Goes On and On" neatly impails the vapid sorority fraternity existence, G. Scott Hey-man's "A Beginning" presents with painful irony a young man's decision to enlist, and James Hill's "Chiquita" is a funny send-up of the banana-tripping controversy. Bizarre Afternoon 1 and Reisberg's "Photoplay," a bizarre af-t at the beach house of a silent screen iar.

put? down the sentimentalizing of Good Old Holivwood with pitch-black humor, and Hiroko Yoshimoto's "Hat." a clever bit of animation, raps society's self- appointed authoritarians. (Not so good was Deanna Glad's banal "Great Society," another bit of animated criticism in a pseudo-Feiffer-esoue vein.) Reg Childs takes up the old lack-of-communication problem in "4-6 Please Respond," which depicts with wit if not originality a garden party where the guests drink and drink but talk only to themselves. Experimenting with solarized color and superimposed negatives, Burton Gershfield vividly evokes the dying out of the American Indian. Many of the films are freewheeling abstractions, whether a flow of images, a collage of snapshots or gaily jumping globs of color. But they are all joyously alive.

In this group are Joe Adamson's "In the Mist of Life" and Bill Frew's "A Ferlinghet-ti Poem." Also, there's a tendency to create a visual counterpart for a song, a good exercise for beginners. So we have Paul Deason's animated "Light-nin's i i i Strand's "Angel Blue Sweet Wings" set to Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood" and William Hood's "Something," set to the Rolling Stones' "Something Happened Here Yesterday." None of these mean anything in literal sense; they make you feel alive, which is recommendation enough. Lovable Types Most turned-on of all the films -is Attila Domokos' "The Diggers." a docu-rnentarv-look at the Hash-bury hippies. (The sad irony is that these lovable tvpes are probably doing themselves infinitely move harm with drugs thin Miss Hunter's square fraternity boys are with their beer busts.

A thread of humor winds through the evening, and the funniest film is Gaylyn Lloyd's "Hora," in which a flighty and slightly pregnant co-ed gets a highly comic comeuppance. Charles 1 1 h' "Hungus" takes a humorous but kindlv look at an outwardly dull couple on an outing who must Avork through some flam boy ant-lv romantic fantasies before getting together. In contrast to these pictures is Armando Bal-lester's "Mother. and Father," which depict love with pain and poignance, revealing Ballester's admiration for Godard, but is so extremely personal it has no meaning for outsidersat least on a first viewing. That art can demand life as its sacrifice is the theme of Peter Belsito's low-keyed, seemingly casual "Souvenir," and Robert Merchasin's "Charles E.

In refusing to stay down after a savage prison-yard beating from Kennedy, Newman becomes an uncomfortable hero to all of the men, Kennedy in-dueled. In rebelling finally against the system, Newman cuts out and in doing enhances his role as hero, which he finds a burden and responsibility he neither wants nor can handle. All of us, the picture is saying, need our heroes, our myths to live by, need our belief in free spirits to make tolerable the knowledge that we may not be free, in body or in spirit.

There are, in the telling of the tale, some marvelous characterizations and marvelous moments. A meeting between Newman and Jo Van Fleet as his dying mother is a stunning piece of writing and acting. "You was boring the hell out of us, trying to be respectable," she says, meaning it and not meaning it. He was, on either side of the bars, suffocating. The triumphantly hate-a 1 officials include Strother Martin as the camp commandant, Morgan Woodward as a sharp-shooting guard hose eagle eyes are hidden behind reflecting sunglasses, Luke Askew, Robert Don-ner and John McLiam as other bosses.

Among Newman's fellow convicts, it's hard to name a few names without naming all, including those who only stand and serve. But Kennedy as the bully-turned-hero-worshipper is superb as the not very bright guy. the guy you hate turned the guy you feel sorry for because you know more about him than he does. J. D.

Cannon and Lou Antonio are fine among the many. The only feminine interest, aside from Miss Van Fleet, is Joy Harmon as a Baby Doll sex-pot who flaunts herself at the working road gang in a scene of cruel sexuality. There will have to be a special award for her as Best Unsupported Actress. Lalo Schifrin's music is lonely and haunting. I think one of the best stores he has ever done.

Fateful End The picture has flaws. It is. at those points, a film in which on can almost see or hear the decision-making process at work, and disagree rith it. Near the fateful and fatal end of the film, Newman, taking refuge In a Negro church, addresses a monologue at the Almighty. After a beautifully laconic, under- TODAY'S CALENDAR STAGE SENORITA LIBERTAD LAMARQUE, Fernando Fernandez Stage Rente, Million Dollar DAYS ITER' stated performance whose "Yeah, well" was more eloquent than pages, the speech struck me as stagey, sentimental and redundant.

Then, too, after the station wagon bearing the dying Newman drives off into the rainy night, a dramatic point at which to have ended the film, there is a postlude establishing partly with flashbacks that Newman has Christ-like become a convict legend. After a film played at the level of observable reality, the intrusion of cinematic artifice seems wholly wrong, and the more wrong for being, again, redundant. It is as if the film-makers had not reckoned their own strength at making their symbolic points. It would matter less in a film which had otherwise achieved less and undertaken less. Still.

Jack Lemmon's Jalem Productions, which made the film, has much to be proud of a picture with riveting impact and a good deal on its mind, peopled with characters who could be cliches but have the roundness of humanity. Two Jazz Bands to Salute Frank Bull Frank Bull, creator of the Dixieland Jubilees of the 50s, will be saluted by two jazz bands at the Sunday meeting of the New Orleans Jazz Club. The traditional jazz organization will hold its regular first Sunday of the month meeting at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge at 1:30 p.m. The feature bands are the South Frisco Jazz Band and Roy Brewer's Tailgate Ramblers.
