Their reconciliation with the poor people of the region takes place surprisingly quickly, given the youths' inexplicable behaviour and the resentment they engender as sons of the rich. When they are joined by the prissy prettiness of the future Ste. Clare Judi Bowker), who has accompanied St. Francis on many an interminable nature-walk, any tenuous suspension of disbelief crumbles. Although Zeffirelli spares us cinematic tricks of visions and revelations, his harping on a band of post-adolescent outcasts of society, in search of their lost youth and a Rousseauian utopia, mars the simplicity of the tale just as badly...

Everyone laughed when Nixon declared: "This is not a political affair...
...experience was particularly intense for Clare Rosen, who was completing six months training for her conversion from Catholicism to Judaism. Those studies dovetailed with her journalistic chores, which included a visit to a mysterious cult of Jews outside Mexico City, lunch with six Orthodox rabbis on Manhattan's Lower East Side interviews and with Conservative Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum. After bestowing the traditional three blessings that complete the conversion cere mony, the rabbi quipped: "You even look Jewish." At a family gathering, her mother-in-law teased that Clare had learned more about Judaism and its history than anyone else...
