But after a few more sequences I told myself that this $17 million movie decidedly deserves a "yes" verdict Then, later still I think it was the expression of touchingly desperate defiance on the face of Audrey Hepburn as she finally enunciated "The Rain in Spain Stays Mainly in the Plain" my estimation jumped to "great." And when the curtains came together at the finish of just three hours, three hours of Technicolored enchantment, I heard myself all but echoing Col.

Pickering's proud summation of Eliza Doolittle's performance as a duchess at the Embassy Ball, "a total triumph." The gala world premiere of "My Fair Lady took place Wednesday night at the Criterion Theater here just one week ahead of the Egyptian in Hollywood. Most of the principals involved were in attendance. The audience's verdict must have been much like mine; for this is a version that makes it possible for all to see more, 'hear more and find new delights in the nuances of character than at a routine performance on the stage. Delicate Direction Also, in the delicacy of George Cukor's direction and the plaving of Miss Hepburn as Eliza and Rex He la rrison as Prof. Higgins, felt a more cutting poignancy, something closer to the original "Pygmalion," than in the theater.

There is real profundity in this eternal conflict of the man-woman relationship, and this pair have illuminated it so brililantly that I am tempted to say it would stand up even without the endlessly inventive Ler-ner and Loewe score. But that is a sophistry; it already has stood up, of course, in Shaw's play. Actually, it still astonishes one to realize how tightly these songs more than a dozen of them are welded to the core of the narrsHw and tViP.ra rare- ly, if ever, happens to be a false-sounding word or phrase. They all here, those songs, two or three like "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Poor Professor Higgins" seemingly further embellished. I did think "With a Little Bit O'Luck" went on too long, but that other jolly roundelay of Stanley Holloway as the roistering Alfred Doolittle, "Get Me to the Church on Time," comes off a3 a marvel of conception and execution.

And he is matched by Miss Hepburn in the acting her two trium- phant entrances, got up at last as the great lady, eliciting gasps of admiration for their beauty alone. She is unquestionably as superb in her way as Julie Andrews was in hers, but more elfin and hence more pitiable.

There may still be disappointment and resentment over producer Jack L. Warner's final choice but it's made now. Also, of course, Miss Hepburn's singing has been dubbed, mostly by Maml Nixon. The lip-matching is just about perfect. The other standouts are Wilfrid Hyde-White as Col.

Pickering, Holloway and Theodore Bikel as the linguistic expert plus Jeremy Britt, Gladys Cooper and Mona Washbourne. Design of the production by Cecil Beaton, as photographed by Harry Stradl-ing, reaches a new height in magnificence. Art director was Gene Allen. Frederick Loewa is credited for additional music (presumably mostly bridges), and Andre Previn for supervising and conducting it. The choreography is by Hermes Pan.

Germany presented "Encounter at Salzburg," starring Curt Jurgens as an industrialist dying of heart trouble.

Max Friedman directed the Peter Bamberger production. The film soon takes on overtones of a medieval morality play as the hero's only close friend, an actor, appears in the makeup he is using while performing in the annual Salzburg production of "Everyman." Both Jurgens and Victor De Kowaf as the actor are impressive, but they are overwhelmed by a LAST6 WEEKS i I JyPQOL TONIGHT 8:30 P.M. teuffm turn wm 10 t.n.
