39 As sincere as aJulie Harris,
40 As fiery as bMaureen O'Hara,
41 As virginal as cDoris Day,
42 As boyish as dJean Seberg,
43 As graceful as eCyd Charisse,
44 As French as fBrigitte Bardot,
45 As Italian as gGina Lollobrigida,
46 As English as hJulie Andrews,
47 As German as iMarlene Dietrich,
48 Or as American as jJune Allyson,
49 Which helps to explain why all this Hollywood magic will make history a lot more exciting and interesting than it ever was in the first place,
50 Not to mention better looking.
CHAPTER 151 It is because of Hollywood's special magic that millions and millions of people will get a whole new perspective on important events they'd otherwise have to imagine and speculate about for themselves.
2 For example, thanks to the movies, millions and millions of Christians will finally be able to see the holy events described in the kNew Testament,
3 lIncluding the birth and boyhood of Christ,
4 mThrough His ministry,
5 Through the whole Passion,
6 And even through the Ascension,
7 Which is practically a Miracle.
8 Obviously, the main character in this spectacular will be Jesus Christ, the son of God and the loving savior of all Mankind,

9 Who looks a lot like nJeffrey Hunter,
10 Except in the earliest sequences, when He will be played by an infant child actor,
11 oWho will be born to the pVirgin Mary under an arc lamp in a beautiful manger set, with a lot of saintly sounding choirs qsinging behind the backdrop,
12 And grow to boyhood in his rstepfather's carpentry shop, somewhere in the desert outside Los Angeles,
13 Where Jeffrey Hunter will first show up to meet sJohn the Baptist,
14 And be tempted by a tSatanic offstage voice,
15 But will ultimately accept his calling from uJohn Huston to go on playing Jesus for the rest of the picture.
16 vWhereupon Jeffrey will go on to do many holy and miraculous things, in full view of the camera, without having anything up his sleeve,
17 wIncluding turn water into wine-colored water,
18 And turn his xstaff into a serpent, to the complete amazement of yHerod,
19 zAnd feed thousands of extras with five loaves and fishes,
20 And talk about aapeace and love, and bblove thy neighbor as thyself, and ccturn the other cheek, and dddo unto others as you would have them do unto you, and eelet him who is without sin cast the first stone, and a lot of other stuff too, just like it says in the ffBible,
21 ggAnd recite some especially moving lines while passing around the prop bread and wine at the last supper,
