...GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW. An Italian Communist, Director Pier Paolo Pasolini, vividly re-creates the world and work of Christ with a cast of non-professional actors, a script taken line for line from Scripture, and a blessed absence of the usual conventions...
...Gospel According to St. Matthew is a modest, unadorned movie on the life of Christ that should satisfy the yearnings of anyone who has ever suffered through the pretentious piety of multimillion-dollar orgies of Scripturama. Paradoxically, it is the work of a usually irreverent Italian Communist, Director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who casts a solemn, hot-eyed Spanish student (Enrique Irazoqui) as Jesus and sends him out to preach among the peasantry with a social revolutionist's fervor.

Harvard's Alvin Hansen, the first great Keynesian teacher, taught it to hundreds of economists, many of them now in high positions. Hansen's brightest student was Paul Samuelson, who later wrote a Keynesian-angled college textbook on economics that has gone to 2,000,000 copies and influenced the thinking of count less teachers and students...
