Director Brooks apparently thought the best way to simplify the movie would be to divide it into four equal parts. He merges sections dominated by Parisian scenes, Johnson gazing at Taylor, wild parties, and family conflict over the baby.

What I am trying to do is to defend Christ's doctrine, which for 2,000 years priests like these have been trying to destroy...
