ZARETHAN (NBC, 1:30-2 p.m.). A trip to the excavations in the Jordan River Valley, where archaeologists think they may find the ancient city of Zarethan, the 12th century B.C. site of bronze casting for Solomon's Temple. Excavation Director Dr. James B. Pritchard discusses why his digging may give the world a better understanding of Biblical history...

The director's greatest triumph, however, is his use of unknowns. With the exception of a handful of character actors in minor parts, and John Forsythe as a detective, no face in the film is fa miliar-least of all Dick's and Perry's. Thus, like obscure performers...
