Day by Day

A snippet of time. The film made in the 70's with a seventy's version of 60's hippies. There are some great views of the twin towers.As with many film adaptations of plays, I the effort to take advantage of the media the essence of the play can get lost. Sure the songs are there but the filler is just that. The play as seen in its many incarnations is inspiring and makes one want to read the gospel of St. Mathew. However, this version takes great effort to get through. Also based on the book "The Feast of Fools: A Theological Essay on Festivity and Fantasy".Still, this is the only recording we have to remember a playtime and a message. And the song "Day by Day" pretty much expresses the reason for the play and the reason to be part of the larger play.

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
