CINEMA Under Ten Flags. The German Navy's Van Heflin v. British Admiral Charles Laughton in a better than fair sea-fight thriller, based on one of the more curious naval footnotes to World War II.

The End of Innocence. Director Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, a Swedish-descended Argentine, shows his debt to Sweden's Ingmar Bergman in a shadowed study of purity, sin—and degeneracy.

Ocean's 11. Frank Sinatra's off-screen clansters (Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr.) as their usual tough-talking, gamboling selves ham up a Las Vegas robbery with enough foolishness to make it look like fun.

Jungle Cat. Another of Walt Disney's magnificently photographed, though sometimes badly edited and narrated, True-Life Adventures, this time about jaguars in the Amazon jungles.

It Started in Naples. A Neapolitan holiday that is pleasurable enough, with Clark Gable, Sophia Loren and Vittorio De Sica, becomes occasionally hilarious, thanks to a scene-thieving nine-year-old called Marietto.

Sons and Lovers. D. H. Lawrence's searing novel is brilliantly translated to film by Director Jack Cardiff and a fine cast headed by Wendy Hiller and Trevor Howard—whose performances are, respectively, good and great.

Elmer Gantry. Burt Lancaster turns in one of the best performances of his career as Sinclair Lewis' Bible-banging, skirt-chasing evangelist.

Bells Are Ringing. Judy Holliday singing some Comden-Green lyrics is all that this comedy about an answering-service Nightingale offers, but Judy is enough.
