If He Hollers, Let Him Go--Let it go. At the SYMPHONY I, 262 Huntington (262-8820).
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas--A cheap celluloid account of the swinging sixties, atrociously filmed, with Peter Sellers as a representative youth. At the BEACON HILL, Tremont between Beacon St. & Govt. Center (227-6676).
In the Heat of the Night--Rod Steiger as a Deep South cop and Sidney Poitier as Sidney Poitier. At SYMPHONY I, 262 Huntington (262-8820).
The Lion in Winter--Pretension unleashed, most notably that of Anthony Harvey, the director, who seems bent on doing everything as conspicuously as he can. Neither Peter O'Toole nor Katharine Hepburn gives much of a performance in this cumbersomely filmed version of James Goldman's play, which was unconvincing to start with. At the PARIS CINEMA, 841 Boylston (267-8181).
The Magician--Bergman. Starts Sunday at the BRATTLE (876-4226).
Negatives--Glenda Jackson (Charlotte Corday in the Peter Brook Marat-Sade) is in it. At the CHARLES, 195 Cambridge (227-2832).
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break--One of W. C. Fields' best, with Margaret Dumont and a wild movie-within-the-movie. At SYMPHONY II, 262 Huntington (262-8820).
Our Man in Havana -- Alee Guinness and Noel Coward in Graham Greene's screenplay. 2 DIVINITY AVE., tonight.
The Parent Trap--Hayley Mills plays two characters in this Walt Disney film. Too much of a bad thing. At the ORPHEUM, Washington St. across from Filene's (542-5557).
The Producers--Mel Brooks shows how to make a musical about "the Hitler you knew, the Hitler you loved, the Hilter with a song in his heart." At the HARVARD SQUARE (864-4580).
Romeo and Juliet--The Shakespeare play, dressed up for the color screen by Franco Zefirelli, with teenage stars. At the ABBEY, 600 Commonwealth Ave. (262-1303).
The Silence--More Bergman. At the CHARLES ST. MEETING HOUSE, 70 Charles St., tonight.
Star--Despite wonderful music, ranging from Kurt Weill to Cole Porter, an aimless, fruitless movie. The theatrical history, however, is fun, and Julie Andrews and Daniel Massey are likewise as Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward. At the GARY, 131 Stuart (542-7040).
The Two of Us--A dog and a little boy loom large in this French-made tale of human understanding, but any cute moments are salvaged by the formidable Michel Simon. At the EXETER, Exeter St. between Sommonwealth & Newbury (536-7067).
2001 --Stanley Kubrick's epic of human advancement, externally motivated. The special effects must be seen, and can best be seen from the first five rows. At the CINERAMA, Washington Street near Essex (482-4515).
West Side Story--Much, much worse than the show. Badly dubbed and drippily sung, but funny in places. At the SAVOY, 163 Tremont (536-2120).
You Are What You Eat--Tiny Tim and friends romp through a small budget. At the ESQUIRE, Mass. Ave. on the Boston side of Harvard Square (491-7730), and the KENMORE, Kenmore Square (262-3799).
You Can't Cheat an Honest Man --Among the funnier Fields pictures, this one offers him as a circus impressario with a desirable daughter and debts. The Lake Titicaca episode and the pingpong game are pure genius. At the SYMPHONY II, 262 Huntington (272-8837)
