I stood in a very long line on opening night, August 12th, 1988, to see Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” at the Ziegfeld. It was hot, humid, and protestors from the Legion of Decency condemned the film as blasphemous from across the street. A contingent of local media interview interviewed people lining 54th street to see the film—including 1960s pop-star Tiny Tim, who stood not far behind me and spoke to a reporter from WABC.
