It is quite a poignant scene now. Godspell was shot in NYC in 1972, and I first visited the city in 1973--watching the film now, it's very much the city I remember from my childhood visit.

I get both those songs stuck in my head. Also "Save the People"!

(I don't know if you've been watching Ryan's Hope lately, but a week or two ago was the marvelous scene where Martha McKee calls Jack a "miserable, sniveling, very frightened man." I had to rewind and watch it again!)
