Talk:Marjoe

Is there any information about who the other preachers were in the movie? I'm unable to find any sources online. In particular, the guy counting money with Marjoe and the woman in the white dress at the black revival featured rather prominently in the movie. Lhoriman (talk) 17:26, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

South of Des Moines?

I removed the phrase from the text saying that the film "was not shown any farther south than Des Moines, Iowa." (I realize we have a quote from the director in the footnote saying that, which I didn't remove.) That's because it can't literally be true. Des Moines is at 41°35′27″N. If it weren't shown south of there, it couldn't have been shown in Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or Washington, D.C., or Philadelphia, or even New York City (40°42′46″N). And it definitely was shown in New York City; there's a New York Times review at https://www.nytimes.com/1972/07/25/archives/marjoe-documentary-about-evangelist-arrives.html which specifically says that the film was showing at the Cinema II Theater, Third Avenue at 60th Street, in July 1972.

I wouldn't be surprised if the distributor avoided showing the film in the Southern United States, but saying "not ... farther south than Des Moines" is not the most accurate way of expressing that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:08, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
