HAROLD ROBBINS' "THE SURVIVORS" (ABC, 9-10 p.m.). Jet-set soap starring Lana Turner. Ralph Bellamy, George Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy. Premiere...
...Susan Sontag's prose style is laborious, her film making is absolutely benumbing. Duet for Cannibals, which looks alternately like a third-rate Monogram thriller and a dirty soap opera, has something to do with a young man who gets a job as secretary to a paranoid politician.

But the reader gets hooked nevertheless...
