FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1988

An ersatz Jesus falls under the weight of a cross at a demonstration
against "The Last Temptation of Christ." The protest was staged in front
of the home of Universal Pictures Chairman Lew Wasserman.

ed the movie in part but
whose main role is to
distribute and promote the
finished. product.
Noticeable by their absence
are similar denucations of
Martin_ Scorsese, the film's
director, who legally still
owns "Temptation" and has
invested a 15-year effort to
bring it to the screen. Scor-
sese, a Roman Catholic, once
studied for the priesthood and
has said that the picture will
be "an affirmation of faith"
for the Christian community.
The screenplay was written
by Paul Schrader, who grew
up in the Dutch Reform
Church, and the novel's
author was a member of the
Greek Orthodox church.
Universal Pictures, whose
president, Ibm Pollock, is
Jewish, seems to have been
initially stunned by the fury
and direction of the attack,
with spokesmen dealing out
"no comments" to even the
most innocuous question. The
studio rallied late last week
with full-page advertisements
in major newspapers in New
York, Washington, Los
Angeles and Atlanta (where
delegates to the Democratic
national convention could
read it.
The ad took the form of an
open letter to Bill Bright of
the Campus Crusade for
Christ, who had earlier of-
fered $10 million to Wasser-
man if he would destroy all
prints of "Temptation." The
text emphasized that the film

is based on a novel and not
the Gospels.
By no means all fundamen-
talist preachers have joined in
the hue and cry and a half
dozen liberal and mainstream
churchmen who saw the near-
ly completed film in a studio
preview in New York, said
they were generally im-
pressed.
A Roman Catholic leader
has taken a dual position,
warmly defending Wasser-
man while indicating that the
church will probably Eabel the
film "morally offensive to
everyone and should be avoid-
ed." Archbishop Roger M.
Mahony of Los Angeles
decried the extremist attacks,
stating, "I strongly oppose the
anti-Semitic implications
that a few voices have raised
in the matter, and I am
hopeful that our excellent
Jewish-Christian relation-
ship will help diminish any
suggestion that this film was
produced to be anti-
Christian."
Jewish defense organiza-
tions have put the controver-
sy high up on their priority
list. One of the first to react
was Iry Rubin, leader of the
Jewish Defense League, who
came out to confront the Rev.
Hymers during the demon-
stration outside Wasserman's
home.
Abraham Foxman, ADL's
national director, said that
"Rev. Falwell's irresponsible
comments run the risk of
becoming a self-fulfilling
