I thought we had missed this one. imdb.com gives it a U.S. release date of March 1.

According to Netflix the movie was condemned by the Catholic League of Decency. I guess the Christ-like character was a little too Christ-like. Or maybe Joan Crawford’s character (prostitute) is not sufficiently camouflaged .
