His great medical pictures, The Agnew Clinic and The Gross Clinic-which would serve as touchstones for a later generation of realists-had been greeted with critical jeers. He rarely sold a painting, subsisting on a small private income. The year before he met the clerics, his father had died. Eakins himself was an agnostic...
...dancer named Melissa (Anna Karina). Suddenly Justine and Nessim are revealed as Coptic Christians involved in smuggling guns to Palestine so that the Jews can fight the British. Pursewarden, who knows of their treachery, keeps silent, apparently out of love for Justine. Melissa meanwhile goes off to a TB clinic, and Nessim's brother (Robert Forster) is assassinated by his own people. And so it goes for another hour until various deaths and suicides bring Justine to an abrupt conclusion...
