Twist of Fate (British Lion; United Artists). In most movies about the French Riviera, the scenery at least is worth watching. In this one, however, the landscape is cluttered up with so much unlovely plot that it can hardly be seen. The heroine (Ginger Rogers) is a kept woman who has everything that money (Stanley Baker) can buy-from a villa on the Riviera to a Jaguar parked outside it. But all she really wants is love (Jacques Ber-gerac). Bergerac (Actress Rogers' real-life fourth husband) is an artsy-craftsy type who makes expressionistic pottery for a living...
...Cream & Ginger Ale. If everybody could be as happy as, say, Joan Crawford, Dr. Cooper would have much less work to do. Last week Cinemactress Crawford described life with her six-year-old dog Cliquot, a Harjes poodle. Cliquot, she says, was always happy when she was at the glamorous studios, like M-G-M and Warner Bros. But at Republic Pictures, a horse-opera factory, Cliquot was sad. "He chewed up a carpet," said Joan. "He swallowed 5½ yards of string. He usually eats white meat of chicken, ground sirloin, ice cream and ginger ale. He wears custom...

Twice a day you will turn the gigot. Now we come to the main...
...police (George Raft) discover that the girl did not commit suicide-she was murdered. Furthermore, she was pregnant. Things look bad for the producer. However, there is still the couple upstairs to be considered (Ginger Rogers and Reginald Gardiner) and the boy friend down in the Village (Skip Homeier). Producer Johnson manages very cleverly to keep all these oranges in the air until the next-to-last scene...
Spectacular No. 4 (Mon. 8 p.m., NBC) was the best spectacular yet. Directed by Hollywood's Otto Preminger and starring Ginger Rogers in three short plays by Noel Coward, the show started slowly with a vaudeville skit that was notable for the expertness of Ginger's cockney accent. The second playlet, Still Life, co-starred Ginger with Britain's Trevor Howard, but it lacked the pathos of either the 1936 Broadway original (starring Noel Coward and the late Gertrude Lawrence) or the movie version, Brief Encounter. But in the third number, Shadow Play, Ginger was romantically believable...
