THEATER

On Broadway YOU KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING. In four playlets, Robert Anderson proves again that sex, taken so seriously by most of mankind, can be one of the funnier aspects of life. Actors Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard add to the fun.

BLACK COMEDY. The suspense of whether the characters in Peter Shaffer's comedy will hit or miss in the dark is the mainspring of this merry-go-round. Michael Crawford and Geraldine Page lead the gymnastics.

THE HOMECOMING. When the eldest son brings his wife to the womanless house of his family, the situation is set for a clash--between his youth and his father's age, his intellectualism and his father's brute force, the claims of his children on his wife and the claims of his brothers. Peter Hall directs the Royal Shakespeare Company in a tightly orchestrated performance.

Off Broadway

THE COACH WITH THE SIX INSIDES is a kaleidoscopic view of Finnegans Wake expressed in dance and drama and some of the more devilish passages of Joycean imagery. Jean Erdman conceived and directed this bright entertainment.

GALILEO, by Bertolt Brecht, is like a formal ballet of the mind, in which the princes of the church dance out their accustomed roles. Anthony Quayle makes diction a diadem as he leads the Lincoln Center Repertory Company through a creditable production.

AMERICA HURRAH. Three playlets by Jean-Claude van Itallie have the shock effect of a sudden plunge into cold water.

RECORDS

Pop FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA & ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM (Reprise). Two music masters of the U.S. and Brazil put their full names and their whole selves into the World Soft Championships--as the record liner aptly bills this album. Their lush hush gives a velvety treatment to such songs as The Girl from Ipanema, Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars, I Concentrate on You, and If You Never Come to Me. It's as successful a soft-sell session as any Frankophile could wish for, and bossa nova aficionados will relish Jobim singing along as well as providing background with his famous guitar.

MELINA MERCOURI: ILLYA DARLING (United Artists). The best thing about the current Broadway musical is Melina, and not surprisingly she is the best thing about this musical distillation of it, delivering five of the songs written by Manos Hadjidakis with lyrics by Joe Darion. Amidst the jingly rhythms of the Greek taverna, Melina's breathy bedroom voice stirs a sensuous mood in Piraeus, My Love, is slyly wistful in the Medea Tango as she sings her own version of the myth, and as joyous as ever in her theme song, Never on Sunday.

PETER NERO PLAYS A SALUTE TO HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS (RCA Victor). Though few arrangers admit it, much of what comes out of the recording studios these days is inspired by Herb Alpert's Latin-flavored brass sound. Giving credits where credit is due, Nero here presents sparkling and masterful piano solos that nicely complement the sophisticated slurrings of the horns in A Taste of Honey, What Now My Love and Tijuana Taxi. His technique is at its best as he evokes the swirl of a jazz dance in the theme from Zorba the Greek, or lays out a burning, soulful line on The Work Song.

ROGER WILLIAMS: ROGER! (Kapp). There are times when Roger seems possessed of 20 trigger-happy fingers as he ripples through the Beatles' And I Love Her or the theme from The Sand Pebbles. His fluent, if florid, piano style embellishes a light-hearted Georgy Girl, ranges from stirring to tender on the theme from Black Orpheus, and rollicks through the Monkees' tune, I'm a Believer.

ANDRE PREVIN ALL ALONE (RCA Victor). Without strings, without a big band, without a vocalist or chorus, Andre tout seul displays his musicianship on piano in a dozen serenely balanced ballads, among them, How Deep Is the Ocean, Angel Eyes, When Sunny Gets Blue and As Time Goes By. While his pensive probings honor the melody, he gives an added dimension with such ingenious and sensitive harmonic devices as playing in the key of F with his left hand in Dancing on the Ceiling, while gently stating the melody with his right hand in C.

CINEMA

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. Playwright Neil Simon has adapted his boffo Broadway comedy to the screen with no loss of humor, largely owing to the retention of Original-Cast Members Robert Redford and Mildred Natwick and the canny addition of Jane Fonda.

A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN. An illuminated lecture on How to Commit Adultery, flawlessly directed by Gene Kelly and starring Walter Matthau, who handsomely underplays the male norm pondering the female form.

THE WAR GAME. A short (47 min.), grainy, neorealistic film about what would happen if the Bomb were dropped on England.

THE HONEY POT. Writer-Director Joseph Mankiewicz has modernized Ben Jonson's wryly wily miser, Volpone, for the contemporary talents of Rex Harrison, and makes up in witty dialogue what he loses in indecisive wavering between comedy and suspense.

MADE IN ITALY. An assortment of scenes --some merely gentle sketches, some with stings in their tales--that portray modern-day Italy and the Italians. Nanni Loy (Four Days of Naples) directs a fine cast that includes Anna Magnani, Alberto Sordi, Virna Lisi and Catherine Spaak.

BOOKS

Best Reading

THE HORRORS OF LOVE, by Jean Dutourd. Using an ill-fated May-to-December romance as an excuse, Satirist Dutourd skillfully and venomously explores the French character.

ALL MEN ARE LONELY NOW, by Francis Clifford. The author is the latest practitioner of the le Carre school of thriller writing, and he offers a properly murky plot and even cloudier characters.

RICHARD STRAUSS: THE LIFE OF A NON-HERO, by George R. Marek. The great romantic composer is viewed amidst a vivid evocation of cultural life in Germany --whose decay and upheaval after World War I, argues the author, was the primary cause of Strauss's disappointing later output.

SNOW WHITE, by Donald Barthelme. Snow White and her seven dwarfish accomplices suffer through the complexities of contemporary life in a witty and wild retelling of the old fairy story.

BATTLES IN THE MONSOON, by S.L.A. Marshall. Brigadier General "Slam" Marshall's thorough familiarity with the red visage of war produces a telling account of its Vietnamese aspect during one bloody campaign in the summer of 1966.

CLOWN ON FIRE, by Aaron Judah. The author's sure comedic touch relies on metamorphosing Holden Caulfield into a Polish Jewish boy named Joe Hosea and setting him amuck in India.

MAY WE BORROW YOUR HUSBAND? AND OTHER COMEDIES OF THE SEXUAL LIFE, by Graham Greene. The sex is muted and slightly mellowed by years, which is not necessarily bad--at least it isn't in these twelve amusing and smoothly told short stories.
