of spying and counterspy-ing, of plots conceived in desperate circumstances to foil desperate enemies. One of the best of such yarns is a movie called "36 Hours." which turned up yesterday at the Kentucky. For the fan who likes a thriller neatly turned and swiftly paced, it is recommended. Belief Suspension Needed Such a fan has Ions been accustomed to suspending his disbelief, if need he, in return for the rewards such a tale can pay in pulse-quickening adventure. "36 Hours" doesn't quite make it to its conclusion without asking for a dollop of this kind of tolerance.

Before it's over, the benign hand of coincidence comes along to push the film to its final fade-out. Still, true stories have come from World War II that tested credulity no less than does the fictitious "36 Hours." To disguise rbe deployment of armies, both sides went to amazing lengths, and both tides were faced with difficult choices of what information to dismiss as clever red herring, and what to accept as truth. On The Eve Of Normandy Taking place on the eve of the Allied invasion of France's Normandy coast, "36 Hours" is based on the need of the Allies to conceal the spot planned for the invasion, and of the desperate need of the Nazis to know exactly when and where the strike would come. The movie opens wibh clips from newsreels, showing the Allies bracing themselves for the drive that lies ahead. One of the few American officers who knows details of D-Day plans is James Garner, who is captured by Nazi spies in Portugal and taken to Germany.

The German plot is elaborate, and consists of nothing less than a psychological maneuver to convince Garner that he's a victim of amnesia, that he has "lost" six years of his Ufa and that the war has long been over. Want To Trick Garner By convincing Garner that the Allies long ago won the war, the Nazis hope to encourage him to spill the beans about D-Day. Okay, to the whole thing sounds hokey.

And by building a taut battle between a German psychologist, out to prove a theory, and a Nazi bully who wants to smash the truth from Garner, Seaton gives his drama a dimension above the ordinary thriller. The Plot's Discovered By a deftly placed clue, Garner discovers the Nazi plot. Beyond that, however, I'm revealing nothing. I relish such a tale too much to spoil it for fans similarly in search of good escape fiction. I'll admit, however, that you may have a little trouble accepting the relentlessly American Rod Taylor as a German intellectual, even though he spouts German which, In the interest of realism, is translated in subtitle style.

But Werner Peters is wonderfully menacing as the Nazi strongman who fights him for possession of Garner's soul. Garner is handsome and brave as the drugged American, and Eva Marie Saint is luminous as a concentration camp victim determined to escape Nazi clutches. Over Miss Saint's plight, the film turns soft and sentimental. With so accomplished an actress making with the hearts and flowers, 'however, they are not at all hard to take.

rSr I Continuous Showing OPEN TODAY 10:30 A.M. would have been poignant and stirring. With sO many marital problems heaped on heavily, however, and garnished by fancy cinematic techniques and dramatic but not necessarily relevant interludes, it is a problem to follow through on any. Out Of Focus Anne Bancroft, as Jo, does not help the situation, either. She is dramatic, she is disturbed, but she doesnt come into focus.

Peter Finch is stoical and forbearing as the husband. Perhaps with time, the dust stirred by the film will settle and its component ideas will become clear. A first impression, though, is one of baffling turbulence. By PHYLLIS FUNKE Courier-Journal Critic The wife of "The Pumpkin Eater," in the film which opened yesterday at the Mary Anderson, lives in a shell. She is surrounded by a barrier of gloom and doom which somehow keeps her from being able to communicate with her husband, her children and her audience.

She is confused and so are we. But her muddle is not ours, though it is a partial cause. Our bewilderment stems from the rapidity with which script writer Harold Pinter (of "The Caretaker" and- "The and director Jack Clayton (of "Room at The throw underdeveloped ideas around.

It is fairly apparent that Jo is having difficulty enjoying an emotional relationship with her husband, Jake. While they are mutually attracted physically, they seem to share little else. Jake aggravates the situation by being unfaithful. In addition, Jo's dealings and attitudes toward her children are. peculiar.

Jo has a large brood by two marriages prior to her one to Jake and adds one more jto the lot by him. It is suggested that she has Ml Her moods come and go, ranging from the gaily vivacious to the intensely jealous. But everything she does is as if in a trance, without sufficient motivation. Potentially Engrossing The story of Jo's stormy marriage to her third husband, a film writer who becomes immensely successful during their relationship, is potentially an engrossing one.
