Notre Dame Acts To Bar New Movie
NEW YORK — (UPI) — A state supreme court justice will hold a hearing today on the application of Notre Dame University for an order barring a Christmas Day opening for the movie "John Goldfarb, Please Come Home."
The Notre Dame motion is aimed at protecting the honor of its football team. The film is alleged to show the team as "undisciplined gluttonies and drunks."
Notre Dame and its president, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, charge misappropriation for commercial exploitation of "the high reputation and good will" of the university.
The petitioners also seek a ban on distribution of William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name.
The book publishers, Doubleday & Co. and Fawcett Publications, assert that the university has taken "a rollicking type of good natured farce with malice toward no one, and built it into a sinister effort to besmirch the reputation of a great university and its president."
The plot concerns a U2 pilot named Goldfarb who crashes in a mythical Arab kingdom and is blackmailed into coaching its football team. The king is determined to defeat Notre Dame because his son could not qualify for the football team there.
20th Century Fox, producers of the movie, described it as "obviously a good-natured lampoon of contemporary American life and international affairs."

Actor Peter Ustinov warned the University of Notre Dame its current court action against 20th Century Fox might prove to be a Waterloo.
Shirley MacLaine, who teams with a pack of harem girls to make monkeys out of the fighting Irish in the film "Goldfarb, Please Come Home," called the Notre Dame move "fine publicity."

And 20th Century Fox President Darryl F. Zanuck said Notre Dame had fumbled in going to court on charges "John Goldfarb" portrayed its football team as drunks and glutons.

"It is said that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton; never let it be said that the battle of innocuous humor was lost on the playing fields of Notre Dame," he added.
"There is an old Arab saying, which I just invented." Ustinov said. "He who hides himself from lau- gter today hides from the truth to-morrow."
Zanuck said the film was just "good clean comedy, and didn't need anybody's permission to portray Notre Dame."
Some students at the University of California are fighting for the right to solicit funds for off-campus political activities. If they win their point, their receipts will probably have to say, "A portion of your donation has been pledged to support N.D.E.A. Student Loans."
