...coach. An Armenian Protestant who came to Catholic Notre Dame from Northwestern in 1963 and overnight restored its long-tarnished reputation for football excellence, Ara Parseghian (TIME cover, Nov. 20, 1964) is an intense, electric insomniac who works 18-hour days, delights in locker-room oratory, and hates anything dull, especially dull football. He has always had a knack for developing topnotch passers and receivers-"probably," cracks Navy Coach Bill Elias, "because his ancestors got practice catching figs that fell out of trees."

What's more, the principals play with aplomb. Julie Andrews brings both sensuality and sensibility to a role that might easily have wallowed in sweetness and light. And Von Sydow is superb...
