Zitate
Jesus: Now, how can you take a speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's this great plank in your own?
Judas: I don't know. How can you take a speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's this great plank in your own?
Jesus: You hypocrite!
Judas: [confused cry of alarm] Wha-ha?
Jesus: First you take the plank out of your own eye so you can see clearly to take the speck of sawdust out of your brother's!
Judas: Wait a minute! That's no answer to the question!
Jesus: Did I promise you an answer to the question?
Judas: Ah... No.

Crazy Credits
The end credits include an infinity frames effect. A sixteen second film of a busy street is shown, and then the right and bottom of the frame is frozen in a sideways capital L. This then becomes the frame for the next iteration of the film, which in turn leaves its right and bottom edges as a frame for the next film. Over the frames and film are played thumbnails of the actors, then credit cards and finally a credit scroll.

Less Than Timeless, but a Glimpse at '60s Counterculture

Even back in the 1970s, skepticism everywhere, the song "Day By Day" seemed like a genuine expression of reverence for the simple teachings of Jesus Christ, despite the obvious efforts in this film to make him a psychedelic hero. While the hippie costumes and clown make-up don't hold up very well today, the point of the movie is to deliver a view of Christ as the radical threat to the status quo that he was. This film was part of an effort to make us take a new look at the gospels (see "Jesus Christ Superstar" as well) and make them relevant to contemporary life while avoiding any mention of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Overall, it may seem naïve and disingenuous now, but if you want a look at the anti-establishment, anti-materialism youth culture of the 1960s, this can't be beat. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
