Robinson and Joan Blondell are working together for the first time since 1936 in "The Cincinnati Kid." Theh screen images have long been an indelible part of the American Scene, Robinson as a ruthless mobster, Joan as a brassy, purse-twirling blond in real life, Robinson, is one of filmland most cultured gentlemen and art connoisseurs and, Joan, one of its most reticent, retiring ladies. Jules Dawtin and Anotole Lit-vak are launching their first joint production, "10:30 of a Summer's Evening" starring Melinda Mercouri, Romy Schneider and Peter Finch. Added to the titillating gallery of Bondmaidens, one Luei-ana Paluzzi, a Roman beauty, who will play "Fiona," a kiss-and-kill girl agent in "Thun-derball" "the biggest break of my career," said Luciana.

"Appearing in a Bond film is like doing four or five years work in one." The script calls for Miss Paluzzi to spend a great deal of time in Bond's arms after which she cold-bloodedly undertakes to kill him. THE DETROIT SOUND has caught on in Singapore.

Werner Peters is coolly callous in the part of the vicious Nazi sadist who is aching to employ less gentle means on Garner, an able perpetuator of an image which had its highest peak in Eric von Stroheim, the devil man.

I EVER fit A 'ZVZ II LIVED jt BY IOUS COOK FrM Prets Staff writer After awhile "36 Hours" begins telegraphing its minutes but even then it maintains a certain interest. And up to the point where the actors start spilling the beans about how it's all going to come out, there is an immense amount of absorbing ingenuity in the picture which opened Wednesday at the Nor-west. Vogue, Terrace and Radio City. "36 Hours" grew out of a true incident which director George Seaton ran Into while working up another war-time called "Counterfeit Traitor" a few years hack.

It dealt with a prisoner who was led to believe that the war was over, which it wasn't. and that the only way he could cure his amnesia was to recall the events of his past life, which included much useful information. So the Nazis capture indomitable James Garner a couple of days before D-Day and attempt to find out where the landings will be. Garner is an American officer who knows all. Garner is sneaked away to a German installation hoked up to look like a real GI hospital.

It has American signs all over the place, Willys Jeeps and GM six-plies. The staff wears American uniforms and even the sad sacks doing the yard work are wearing green fatigues and talking Dod- gerese. WHEN GARNER wakes up a day following his capture his 1 hair is gray, he needs reading glasses, and a copy of Stars Stripes at his beside de- scribes the doings of Presi- dent Wallace and a. visit of former President Roosevelt to Warm Springs. It is dated 1960.

Rod Taylor, a kindly Ger- man pyschiatrist in an Amer- ican major's uniform, tells Garner that America won the war in the fall of 1914, the SS have been executed, and that everything is peachy ex- cept Garner's psyche. And then Dr. Taylor starts questioning Major Garner deftly about his last recollections, which included his D-Day briefing. Will Major Garner be fooled? Although there is a lot of suspense during the first half of "36 Hours," the humor is even better. Upon being informed that he is to be turned over to the SS for the new keep-awake treat- I ment, Garner says mournful- I iy: "I'm not worth anything if I don't get my eight hours."
