25, 1965 1 the story reaches an exceptionally high and brisk level of fascination. The movie's intriguing twists and turns are remarkably well handled by Garner. Taylor and Miss Saint. And there are persuasive portrayals by Werner Peters and John Banner as Germans involved with the principals.

S. i 'J I A ft i I I Another outstanding add! tion to the ranks of the San Francisco Symphony was announced yesterday. Marc Lifschey, 37, and ranked as one of the country's finest oboists, will succeed Merrill Remington, who is retiring after 26 years with the orchestra. Remington has lately been ill. Lifschey will start play IIOLLVWOOD-The last time Elizabeth Ashley and George Peppard were separated by their careers they had a big fight.

Didn't speak. "George Peppard? Who's he?" Liz would snap to the New York press. And, in Hollywood, Peppard affirmed, "We're out of each other's life." Of course, they kissed and made up Liz even buying her way out of "Barefoot in the Park" for $35,000 to join George In London. They've been glued as a team on and off-screen ever since. But with their "Third Day" winding up at Warners, George and Elizabeth face another parting.

He leaves here March 15 for a long location trip to Africa making "The Sands of Kalahari." She stays here. It'll be Interesting to see whether absence makes the heart grow fonder or cooler, maybe? Hollywoond Snapshots: Omar Sharif's eight-year-old son joined him in Madrid; now his parents have joined him to make their home there. Everyone joins Omar but his wife. She stays put in Egypt. Franclne York had better be careful.

If she keeps getting movie jobs she won't be a "new face" anymore. The pretty Miss York goes straight from Jerry Lewis' "Family Jewels" to the lead opposite James Brown in "First Woman in Space." Joi Lansing interrupts her nightclub dates long enough to take dictation from Dean Martin in "Marriage on the Rocks." Plays his secretary. When Brigitte Bardot moves out of the house she's been occupying making "Viva Maria" in Mexico, Alain Delon moves in. He's starting "Ready for the Tiger" south of the border. Elizabeth Taylor, talking to journalist Roderick Mann, spoke of friendship: "Heaven knows Richard and I have done enough to upset what friends we have.

But two who never left us are Yul Brynner and Sammy Davis, Jr." Barry Goldwater's son, Mike, has enrolled in Hastings Law School in San Francisco for the night course. He'll be working his way through, daytimes. Former Dead End Kid Leo Gorcey has reached the end of his marriage to his fourth wife. Leo appears in a film or TV show occasionally but most of his time is spent operating a ranch in northern California. That's all today.

See you tomorrow. By STANLEY EICIIELBAUM Let's not quibble over minor matters, like plausibility, in the ease of "36 Hours," a mighty tense and exciting suspense film that swept into the Paramount yesterday. And I'll tell you why. It begins with an almost impossible premise for nerve-wracking uncertainty the Nazis' desperate endeavor to smell out the time, place and troop dispositions of the D-Day landings. But we all know that they were unable to uncover the Allies' precise plans and the invasion of Normandy and not Pas de Calais, as the Germans calculated was in no small way successful.

TOP SECRETS So a movie that recounts one desperate Nazi attempt to pry loose the top secrets of D-Day from an American Intelligence officer connected to the Allied High Command runs the risk of confounding no one. since the officer is obviously going to spill very little to the Germans. Yet "36 Hours," which I won't spoil for you by revealing too many of its surprising details, is an extraordinarily clever fiction dealing with a fantastic Nazi conspiracy in which James Garner, who plays the vitally informed American major, is abducted to Germany and coerced into talking. George Seaton, who directed and wrote the film Circle Star Hitherto, the Circle Star Theater has had success with musicals and spoken comedies. Its southern California companion theater, Melodyland near Disneyland, made a hit with opera "Madame Butterfly," starring Albanese last year.

And the movie's title refers to the 36 hours that an American-born German psychiatrist, Rod Taylor, has been given by the S.S. to extract information from Garner, wbo is fooled into believing that he was a victim of amnesia for six years. The war, Taylor tells him, is over. And he is under treatment in Germany, which the Allies occupied late in 1944. A NURSE Ruthlessly and shrewdly efficient, the Nazis have also arranged for some special persuasion by a pretty blond nurse, Eva Marie Saint, who is actually a concentration-camp inmate collaborating with the Germans to save her life.
