...FAIR LADY (Columbia). The sculptor Pygmalion stopped after producing one fair lady, but Columbia Records has no quota. There is a Fair Lady to swing to (by Andre Previn), another to sway to (by Sammy Kaye), one to weep by (Andy Williams), and one to sleep by (Percy Faith). There is also the new movie soundtrack, which has Rex Harrison in fine, fierce fettle. But Soprano Marni Nixon, dubbing in the voice of Eliza for Audrey Hepburn, sings with more finish than fire. Lovers of Broadway's fair lady, Julie Andrews, will insist on the original-cast recording, which...

...teen-age daughter, Cheryl, killed her mother's lover. Producer Joseph E. Levine has dressed it up as what used to be called "a woman's picture." Amidst sumptuous settings, supposedly inhabited by the haut monde of San Francisco, Heroine Susan Hayward plays a world-famous "sculptor, pagan, alley-cat" who detests her domineering mother (Davis), betrays her war-hero husband, unwittingly snares a gigolo with her daughter until one calamitous night when the kid picks up a chisel and . . . What follows is a custody battle, some gamy dialogue, and numerous untidy revelations, none of them very interesting...
