Fire MlSBtes To Live By 5:10 Meditation Miller's 'After the Fall 9 artistic flop NEW YORK If TV moguls were truly opportunistic, they'd got Joe DIMnggio to write a musical about his marriage to Marilyn Monroe. They could call it "Jolted Joe." The Idea may be farfetched, 'but just about everybody is climbing aboard Marilyn's corpse for glory, money and schlock. Andy Warhol laminated her in a painting; Norman Mailer rhapsodized about her in "Marilyn," and ABC exploited her In "The Sex Symbol." So why shouldn't DIMnggio get on the bandwagon? Maybe ho doesn't llko to wash his laundry In public. TUESDAY NBC PRESENTED Arthur Miller's "After the Fall," a thinly dls- gulsed drama about the award-winning playwright's unsuccessful marriage to Miss Monroe.

Instead of a story about a playwright and a movie queen, you get a tale about a lawyer and a tormented singer, a siren of song. "After the Fall" concerns an attorney (Quentin) who seeks to find the meaning of his life through his relationships with his wives, his daughter and mother. His mother's phantom haunts him; his first wife dismisses him as a feelingless man; and Maggie, his next wife, gets him on the rebound, but their life is a horror of her insecurities, alcoholism and drug taking. This show is a 150-mlnute exercise in Miller's laundering in public, a sort of theatrical version of a psychiatrist's couch. And perhaps, this explains why the show falls on TV as it did theatrically when it opened In New York in 1984.

Television in review by Frank S. Swertlow TIIIS JOINT NBC-BBC production, starring Christopher Plummer and Faye Dunaway, has far too much of Miller's self-analysis. The writer is feeling sorry for himself. Perhaps, Miller blames himself for the failed marriage and Miss Monroe's suicide. Who knows? But you keep getting the feeling Miller is using the production as a vehicle to rid himself of any guilt.

This type of drama may be good for a playwright's soul, but It does not make the type of theater that made Arthur Mia Farrow sought for 'The Bell Jar' Director Ralph Nelson is seeking Mia Farrow to star in "The Bell Jar" us her first film since "The Great Gatsby" Newly divorced Shirley Jones will star in "The Family Nobody Wanted" for an ABC Movie of The Week David Birney will play a guest role in "McMillan and Wife." Miller famous: "Death of a Salesman," and "The Crucible." Nevertheless, this production, filled with flashbacks and flashfonvards, has some fascinating moments. But in the end, it is just one man's attempt to explain a part of his life, which he still doesn't fully comprehend. WHAT IS UNFORTUNATE about the show is the characterization of Miss Monroe. She seems born to be too hysterical, too self-involved and insecure. She just pops on the stage, half-mad and whimsical.

You get the feeling she Is to blame for her own demise. Perhaps, this is the way Miller gets off the hook. Christopher Plummer is superb as he plays Quentin with great restraint. There Is no flesh or blood in this character. Quentin is a mannequin, dressd in a man's clothing.

Faye Dunaway as Maggie is startling, but there are moments when she gets too carried away. Her Maggie is truly a tragic figure, filled with all the insecurities of the fleeting fame of show business.
