Frank did the soundtrack for the movie of the same name. It's low budget, creepy and oddball. Worth a look if you like old school trashy cinema. If you liked Eraserhead you would probably like "The World's Greatest Sinner". It's so bad and cheap its funny but oddly enough still has a message about how easily people get duped by 'charismatic leaders'.. Frank was experimenting with sound effects and avante guard classical and garage rock n roll so his weirdness fit right in with this film.
the Film was great. almost never shown but one night underground film venues. ranks with They Live and The New Gods comics. Zappa, who scored it, was unknown at the time.
What you meant to say is that Zappa is the world's greatest ROCK COMPOSER!!!! Very cool song, though. Leave the ''world's greatest sinner'' title to the evil politicians and the international banking cartel, that cannibalize large segments of the human populace and send men off to rape, pillage, and kill brown people, literally!!!
This works. Hardly a masterpiece, hardly horrendous; a little cutrer than most songs of this sort from this era. Still, it's good to know of Zappa's legit depth in rock. (I'd love to hear some of the symphoc soundtrack he composed for this movie.) Thanks for the post.
Please should watch movies before they try to categorize them. Instead they make themselves look like jackasses by trying to describe something they know nothing about.
The Worlds Greatest Sinner was an avant garde film made between 1959-1962, about a guy that declared himself God and went on to become a rock star. There was neither sex nor nudity in this film, so to call it a porn film means you've never seen it or read about it.
What I think is crazy is that this film is so ironically sophisticated towards Zappa himself.. to a consent of course. Unless this films about him that I'm completely unaware of.
No ! it is not a porno film .Turner classic movies runs this flick that Frank scored on their Friday night movie schedule about every six months.This is typical of all the misinformation about FZ gets out and becomes "facts" Go with what you really know ,OK?
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm... how true. :) Do people not know where this song is from? Thank you so much for the song, I have heard an instrumental Midi version before, but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Frank's early work for "The World's Greatest Sinner" film. Classic! Thanks again meskalitoLen.
I make hip hop, and this is def. getting sampled. Right now. ;)

'The World's Greatest Sinner' was actually a porn flick, for which dear ol' Frank wrote the music.
