Prepare Ye (The Way Of The Lord) - Godspell (film)

Uploaded by WilbertGTY on Feb 21, 2009
Godspell, released in 1973, is the film adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical Godspell created by John-Michael Tebelak.
Set in modern New York City, the film stars Victor Garber as Jesus and David Haskell as John the Baptist/Judas. John-Michael Tebelak is credited as co-writer of the screenplay and served as the creative consultant, although director David Greene said Tebelak did not write the screenplay. It was filmed in New York from August to November 1972.
The structure of the musical is, in large part, retained: a series of parables interspersed with musical numbers. Many of the scenes take advantage of well-known sites around New York City. John the Baptist (David Haskell) gathers a diverse band of youthful disciples to follow and learn from the teachings of Jesus (Victor Garber). These disciples then proceed to form a roving acting troupe that enacts Jesus's parables through the streets of New York. They often make references to vaudeville schtick.

I miss this, the true spirit of Christianity; so many false religions taking away the Spirit of God. Yellow Deli included!! More dangerous than Jerry Falwell.

This movie really defines "Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet"!
On a side note, doesn't Jeffrey (taxi driver) look a little like John Denver?

I've just looked if Victor Garber is still around, can't beleive who he is, would've never thought that was him!

Awesome awesome song. As a Christian, this just really speaks to my soul... no matter how 70's and well, hippie-ish it may appear. It has a really good message. :)
