Hi All,

What an amazing film. I haven't seen this in a long long time.

Remarkable for a film made in 1960 in the US, with such high profile actors.

So apt, timeless. Classic creationist nonsense - "Evolutionist", "Scientism", "Evolutionism", etc.

Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly are fantastically passionate, erudite, sarcastic, and satirical. Awesome script, brilliant filming.

Brady: "Is it possible, that something is holy to the celebrated agnostic?

Drummond: "Yes! The individual human mind! In a child's power to master the multiplication table, there is more sanctity than in all your shouted amens, and holy holies and hosannahs. An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral, and the advance of man's knowledge is a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters..."

Damn, I must watch that in full sometime. But I'm sure it will be shown again sometime soon.
