Victor's voice is gorgeous. I just wanted to stop by and give him my compliments. Thank you for posting memories like these.

A classic from a time when we were innocent and hopeful. The world has changed so much since then. May we redisover that innocent joyfulness again.

[@desa415]

There is an innocence and joy to this film, that you don't see today.

I remember the atmosphere of this era though so young at the time.

[@Mermaid2261]

This and Jesus Christ Superstar were contemporary to each other. Great stuff!

[@willapotter5455]

I watched this movie when I was like 8, and it reflected my relationship with religion so perfectly. Simple, playful, loving, deap. its beautiful to look back on

[@olivervandebeer7492]

Makes me sad that David Haskell died of brain cancer.. He was born not too far from me.

[@amayesan]

Is no one going to mention the fact that he is suddenly clothed?

[@Cassxowary]

It’s Jesus, He can do whatever the hell he wants

[@amayesan]

@@Cassxowary fair point, my guy!

[@danbytp]

When one is properly baptized the change in a person is that dramatic!

[@catzkeet4860]

It’s a visual metaphor......people are so literal these days.

[@KBAFourthtime]

Happy birthday, Victor Garber.

I want to get washed up like an unemployed actor

[@fargokid71]

I first heard this music back in 1971 in Fargo ND. I liked it then. I like the actor that plays the Christ. Other than that, it's a movie played by hippies with their interpretation of the life of Jesus...and they are all dead wrong. Even so, I still listed to the music, today.

[@Cassxowary]

He’s the best and wrong or right, not the point and not important, and no one is wrong or right anyway, otherwise it would suck. It’s different for everyone unless they want it to be the same.

[@danbytp]

Those that made this movie were trying to make it relatable to the youth of the day.

[@danbytp]

@@Cassxowary Moral irrelevance is Satan's way to try and destroy Jesus's message.Good try to sneak it in.But, you've been found out! Please read Fulton Sheen's books then you and I can talk more in depth.

"It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. ... But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice."

I think the creators of this must've been on drugs lol.

+kleec0203 Fun fact, they actually were part of the time :)

[@Kryakwa980]

All the Godspell movie is just one drug trip, and it's great.

[@Cassxowary]

It’s the seventies, EVERYONE was on drugs hah

[@anobesefatgingerman9307]

weird

[@loribpidgeon]

that is wrong jesus came to set peopl,e free of homosexuality

[@Cassxowary]

How’s it working out for you, being dictated by fearful nonsense you know isn’t true and wouldn’t&doesn’t make any sense? having a fun life living in fear of things that are totally fine even though your mentality is anything but fine?(:

[@Cassxowary]

This was over seven years ago so I hope you use your heart and brain by now...

[@danbytp]

Amongst other sins as well.

[@danbytp]

God made people who are gay.How one chooses to act on it is the real struggle.

[@hawkhillfalconer3529]

Jesus said not a single word against homosexuality. Preached against hoarding wealth, though. And judging others.
