New Films "Nest of Vipers" (Paramount) is a steamy melodrama about passions, frustrated and otherwise, in the Venice of the Fascist era. A young piano student has an affair with the mother of a fellow student, then abandons her for a beautiful young heiress only to have her resort t9 desperate measures to get him back or blight his prospects. There are nice shots of Venice, but the characters are repellent and/or dull and the film is marred by nudity and graphic sexuality. R,B "Yanks" (Universal) is a long, beautifully photographed recreation of that era when American soldiers poured into England for the assault on Fortress Europe. The plot deals with three romances between the newcomers and English women. One ends in marriage, one (an adulterous affair) in mutual reriunciation, and one in a separation caused by the force of events. Unfortunately, the film despite atmosphere· and excellent acting (Vanessa Redgrave, William Devane, Lis Eichorn), is skimpily plotted and doesn't go anywhere. The adult scenes and sometimes rough language make it mature viewing fare. R, A3 Made-for-TV Movies If the TV movies shown by the
networks this week are any indication of what is to come, itl is going to be a bad year for parents who are concerned about
the values of their children. Consider: - Sunday, Sept.. 16, 8-10:30 p.m. (CBS) "The Tenth Month." A tearjerker starring Carol Burnett as a middle-aged, unwed mother who decides to keep her child. The story is a muddle of issues, which include abortion and extramarital affairs. - Wednesday, Sept. 19, 9-11 p.m. (CBS) "Sex and the Single Parent." Intended as a "warmhearted" comedy about the troubles young divorced parents have in establishing new "meaningful" relationship, the film professes to worry a lot about what the kids will think of their parents' carryings-on. Not funny and definitely not for the kids. - Wednesday, Sept. 19, 9.-11 p.m. (NBC) "l¥Irs. R's Daughter." NBC describes this unpreviewed film as "an emotionally charged drama based on a true story of a mother's traumatic and frustrating battle to bring her daughter's rapist to trial." Need you know more?
