Suddenly, the camera cuts to two teenage women munching popcorn in the audience and you realize that Mastroianni h'as used the film-withtn-a-film gimmick to humorous advantage. But that's the only interesting scene in the movie.

It runs downhill faster than Donald Sutherland in "The Invasion of the Bdy Snatchers." Caitlin O'Heaney and Don Scardino, two virtual unknowns, will probably remain that way if they make another film like this one. But the blame should be equally spread throughout the cast and crew. The script and direction are slow and strictly second rate and the produc-'tion values are only slightly better than those in my uncle's home movies. with an inadequate police force. Then disconnect the phone and let the concoction stand for an hour.

Next, take a kitchen knife or straight-edge razor and stir briskly. Finally, spray at least six gallons of blood around the walls of a dark, suburban home and empty the rest in the bushes outside the kitchen. "You Are Not Alone" creates the misleading first impression that it has cessly milked the formula. The opening scene shows a young couple necking in a 59 Fairlane parked in the woods. She hears a noise outside.

Her boyfriend goes out to investigate and he doesn't come back. When the terrified woman musters the courage to find out what happened she opens the car door to see him hanging by HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALONE Directed by Armand Mastroianni. Written by Scott Parker.

By Jeffrey Hart Special to The Globe Today. In America, cold winds of all kinds are beginning to blow. It's a pleasure, therefore, to bask for a few hours in the warm, good-natured, op-l timistic atmosphere which suffuses William Inge's 1955 classic, "Bus Stop" (the film version, with Marilyn Monroe, was made in 1956). Indeed, "Bus Stop" is almost a shocker. Today, dramatists no longer give us a world in which personal turmoil and strife leave, in Inge's language, "no hard feelings." 1 "Bus Stop" is a turning-point dra-i ma.

Some bus passengers. Westward bound, become stranded for a night in I a diner located in a small Kansas. town. One is a despairing alcoholic and a former college professor. Anoth-; er is a young, wiry rancher named Bo Decker.

He has a passion for Cherie, a chanteuse. the only female passenger. The bus driver. Carl, is a good man who cares a lot for Grace, who owns the diner. As we learn the history qf these people, and watch them make their life-decisions, we also learn Inge's simple lesson.

People must give to each other, tenderly. They must love each other, fearlessly. From this comes true strength. -The People's Theater production is warm, good-natured, and at times, even glowing. But there are problems.

Act II, with its many dead spots, falters badly. Director John Hickok i has tried to generate a steady back-' ground hum of low-key realism. Some- times, however, this hum ceases alto-i gether, and the audience is left impa-t tiently waiting for the next intimate. edifying conversation to begin.

Most of the time, however, the performances hold one's attention.

As Dr. Lyman, the ex-professor, Leroi Shel-ton does some effective declaiming, thereby proving that the barroom philosopher can thrive even where they don't sell liquor. Richard Rameaka's Bo Decker is a believable, tough cowboy with a heart of gold. Donna Stephansky's Grace, the diner owner, is warm and maternal. She takes good care of Elma, the young waitress, who is played by Dorothy Sinclair.

Sinclair's performance, although charming, lacks in vibrancy. Barry Doe's Carl, the bus driver, acts and sounds like the real thing. Nan Mulleneaux, who plays Cherie, should calm down. Her performance, convincing in its details, is extremely nervous. Inge's "Bus Stop" almost seems to stop time.

Watching it is like journeying to some Midwestern twilight zone haunted by extinct national self-images. But the journey is worthwhile. It has a curious way of stoking up the fires of fellow feeling.

are all masterpieces right smack in the middle of the mainstream, and all works that can support a wide variety of Interpretations. But the predominating feeling of this concert was one of discomfort the discomfort of sensing a discrepancy between the message of the music and the methods of the pia- nist, the discomfort of worrying about technical problems imperfectly solved. In the Mozart, for example, Wanger's playing was teeming with ideas about pacing, about touch, about pedaling (light but very varied), about style (resolutely anti-romantic). There were, in fact, so many events, so sharply profiled, that at times the sonata seemed to be taking a back seat to its own performance. And Wanger's pianistic manner in this work was often hard to square with anything that we have come to understand as Mozart's style phrasing that repeatedly pulled back from climaxes, melody that was often percussive and al- waysunvocal.

In the Schubert A Major Sonata it became clear that beautiful sound for its own sake is never a goal for this carefully analytical pianist (although if it had been It would have remained unattained on the raucous Steinway in the BU Concert Hall). Instead, his playing pointed up Schubert's subtle rhythmic art (an aspect of his music which is unrecognized by most pianists), and played fascinating games with the constantly shifting instrumental textures. But here again one missed the loving and seemingly spontaneous shaping of melody which is as. indis-; pensable to Schubert as it is tp Mozart, and the careful preparation of the big moments of harmonic expressiveness. His technique too, generally reli-; able, had a tendency to get a little frightened during moments of excitement.

Least satisfactory were Schumann's "Fantasies-; tuecke," the slow ones like "Des Abends" a bit pon-; derous and murky, the quicker ones, like "Aufsch-; wung," noisy and unrefined, the hard ones, like "Traumes Wirren," hardly in control. And most in-j appropriate in this music, whose very raison d'etre is the capturing in sound of fleeting, spontaneous Impressions, was the crushing premeditatedness of It all.
