...false premise is a road to ruin. My mission is to correct people when they perceive things wrongly," snarls Lydon, hoping the film finally clarifies the group's twin-barreled assault on the music industry and Britain's class system. (Ironically, at test screenings, some teens thought it was fiction.) In Filth's strangest, most poignant moment, he breaks down crying while discussing Sid Vicious, the bandmate he lost to heroin. "I care about anyone dying a stupid death," he says, though he fought to snip his sobbing from the final cut. Says director Julien Temple: "I argued that this...

In 1986, the University pulled the Pudding out of its immediate problems when HPRE purchased the property on which the clubhouse sits. HPRE's Scott Levitan said the University took action purely to rescue the Institute from financial ruin. "We work with the trustees to preserve the student groups. Otherwise, I don't think Harvard would be stepping in to deal with their problems," he said. But the University may have had a few stronger motives.
