by TV Key By Edith Lindeman Ai i motion picture' Longest opened recently and was immediately' proclaimed a blockbuster to end all blockbusters Hie monumental amount of work that has gone into the motion picture is comparable to the arduous task of Cornelius Ryan who wrote the book from which the picture was taken Ryan was a 24-year-old war correspondent who was present when the assault was made on the Normandy beaches on Day 1944 He wrote three short stories that day By his own admission they were and The magnitude of the imasion was too great to be contained in any story written by a man who necessarily had to remain in one spot Some day he says he hoped to rectify that Five years later in 1949 the State Department invited 49 of the former Day correspondents to return to Normandy for the fifth anniversary of the landings The- horror and the grandeur of the event hit Ryan anew and the embryonic idea of five years before determined him to write a book What Was Written he writes "I set out to read everything that had gives Andy a few blasts and Slakes the sheriff up Deputy Barney Fife is Aghast at this turn of events 9:30 pjn CBS Ben Casey "In the Name of Love a Small Corruption" Good show The plot is contrived corny and trite but the handling is so effective it's one of the most absorbing shows in weeks Rod Steigar is perfect as a long lost father who comes back

can referee a football game pretty funny repeating signals barked out by her next door neighbor and watching her trying to go to sleep in the bathtub is a laugh at the end of the show 8:90 pjn CBS Danny Thomas Tonight's plot may sound hard to take but a well written script helps it come across a big hubbub about who will take care the Williams' children while their parents are in Europe and

imaginary existence is a secret that violently binds and sunders them and that George's pronouncing him dead may be a turning point This part of the story does not ring true and its falsity impairs the credibility of his central characters If the drama falters the acting of Uta Hagen and Arthur Hill does not As the vulgar scornful desperate Martha Miss Hagen makes a tormented harridan' horrifyingly believe-able As the quieter tortured and diabolical George Hill gives a superbly modulated performance built Oh restraint as a foil to Miss explosive-ness On the Make George Grizzard as a young biologist on the make shades from geniality to Intensity with shattering rightness And Melinda Dillon as his mousy troubled bride is moving and touching in her vulnerable wistfulness Afraid of Virginia (The phrase Is used at odd moments as a Utter joke to the tune of the children's play song "Mulberry is a modem variant on the theme of the war between the sexes Like Strindberg Albee treats his women remorselessly but he is not much gentler with his men If he grieves for the human predicament he does not spare those lost In it psychological and emotional mazes His new work flawed though it Is towers over the common run of contemporary plays It marks a further gain for a young writer becoming a major figure of our stage (Advertisement) ITCHING Torture Stopped like Magic ZE FREE

Americans had never been them at all American accounts were similarly limited in perspective The fact that an entire unit of FYench commandoes had landed shoulder to shoulder with the British was forgotten' completely the German side there was virtually nothing I found two books one excellent the other by a German general was simply an alibi Nevertheless at the finish of these reading and cataloguing sessions which took almost two years I had a frame of reference" After this Ryan took on the task of locating Day survivors in five countries the United States Canada England France and Germany Very few records of addresses existed In Germany there seemed to be no hope at all of finding them Ryan was almost ready to give up the entire project when Lila DeWitt Wallace of the Digest and their editors decided to underwrite the almost impossible research task of finding and interviewing the Day survivors on both tides Ryan was able to continue Advertisements Run Beginning in 1937 advertisements were run in service magazines and newspapers Over the next two yean 3000 Day veterans were located Of these about 1000 communicated with Ryan With the help of the Digest overseas bureaus 700 were interviewed Of these 483 were used in the final script While all this was going on captured documents were being translated Hie real breakthrough came when the Defense Department declassified the offi dal Geiman War Diaries particularly and For the first time Ryan was able to see what had happened to the German commanders during the 24 hours of Day i The collation of all this me terial took the best part of a year A master index and chronology took another six months Then Ryan was ready to write He wrote about 300000 words then brutally edited his manuscript back to D500Q

four Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" is a wry and electric evening in the theater One may not be able to swallow Albee's characters whole as I cannot One may feel as I doi that a pillar of the plot is too flimsy to support the climax Neverthless one is urged to hasten to the Billy Rose Theater where first full-length play opened Saturday night For Afraid of Virginia is possessed by raging demons It is punctuated by comedy and its laughter is shot through with savage irony At its ewe is a Utter keening lament over man's incapacity to arrange his environment or private life so as to inhibit his self-destructive compulsions Moving onto from off of Broadway Albee carries along the burning intensity and ice warth that infllsed Zoo and American He has written a play that runs almost three and a half hours and that brims over with howling furies that do not drown out a fierce compassion Sympathize with them or not one wUl find the characters in this new play vibrant with dramatic urgency In their anger and terror they are pitiful as well as corrosive but they are also wildly and humanly hilarious dialogue is dipped in acid yet ripples with a relish of the ludicrous His controlled
