Official Lifts Ban on Movie The Miracle
New Yorkers may view Roberto Rossellini's The Miracle temporarily after city license commissioner Edward T. McCaffrey withdrew objections as Supreme Court Justice Henry Clay Greenberg prepared a temporary order setting aside the ban. A court hearing was scheduled for next Wednesday. Greenberg noted Italy had shown the film without Vatican objection and New York state authorities had taken no action. McCaffrey had ordered the Paris Theater to stop showing it a week earlier, calling the film blasphemous. The film centers on an insane woman sedated by a man she believes to be St Joseph.
