Blaze of the Sun, by Jean Hougron (Farrar, Straus & Young; $3.75). If all the Frenchmen in Indo-China behaved more or less like the ones in this novel, no wonder they lost the war. Amid all the offensives and ambushes, Novelist Hougron's characters worry chiefly about who goes to bed with whom-or more particularly, with My-Diem, a shapely Annamite who used to be a Communist agent, married a French colonial official and, before the book is over, earns herself one of the hottest spots in the Buddhist hell by committing adultery with yet another Frenchman.

Edmund Purdom, as the Egyptian doctor, gives as good as he got from Author Waltari. Jean Simmons, as his bright angel,' looks pretty carrying a jug on her head. As his dark angel, Bella Darvi manages, even while wearing green nail polish and a wig like a blue floor mop, to stave off the horselaughs-no mean accomplishment. Gene Tierney models some fetching Egyptian clothes, and Victor Mature's chief contribution to his role is the strength to carry 65 Ibs. of armor on his back...
