Forman's sensitive handling of the cast is by itself stunningly productive.

The movie was shot, remarkably, at the Oregon State Hospital at Salem, whose own director, Dr. Dean R. Brooks, plays the director of the fictional asylum and very naturally and subtly at that. Haskell Wexler was the principal photographer, with credited assists from two other top talents, Bill Butler and William Fraker. The feeling throughout is of naturalism, which 'ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST' A United Artists Release.

Producers Saul Zaentz, Michael Douglas. Director Mllos Forman. Script Lawrence Hauben, Bo Goldman, from the novel by Ken Kesey. Photography Haskell Wexler, with Bill Butler, William Fraker. Editor Richard Chew.

is to say neither of overaccentuated gray and gloomy shadows nor of stage-lit sets. The exposition and the editing, like all the performances, is of the consummate art which refuses to draw attention to itself. Indeed, the one convention is the musical score by Jack Nitzsche (who did "Performance" a few years ago), but it is quite effective intermittent and suggestive, reinforcing the emotional intensity of the drama. The energy inherent in the McMurphy character made it almost inevitable that the Nicholson performance should be a tour de force. But oddly enough it is the restraint and the ambiguity of the characterization, not the splash of it, which make it unforgettable This figure is still another fresh and individual creation not intentionally heroic, not deliberately a destructive antihero, earthwise but nothing like as neurotically intelligent as the men played in, say, "Easy Rider" or "The Passenger." He is crafty, clever and compassionate and he is in the end a hero because his instincts leave him no choice.

He is more than a show-off or a pop-off, and in what is possibly the subtlest performance of his amazing career, Nicholson makes his eyes let us see how much more he knows and feels than he lets on. He is here closest to the sailor of "The Last Detail," whoa cynicism could not quite override the caring. Kirk Douglas had played in "Cuckoo's Nest" on Broadway and tried for years to get a movie going. It was finally his actor son Michael who found a backer in Saul Zaentz of Berkeley's Fantasy Records (from Dave Brubeck to Credence Clearwater). Zaentz had also financed the fine and equally tough-minded "Payday." "Cuckoo's Nest" seems likely to be a far more substantial commercial success than "Payday" for coproducer Zaentz.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" opens Wednesday at the Regent in Westwood and is calculated to restore your faith in the discipline and the emotional ef-fectivenes? of mspirGd fine moviemaking.
