Subsequent History
In 1974, following an earlier-than-normal TV screening of the film on BBC TV, which broke a gentlemen's agreement allowing a 'window' of theatrical distribution before any TV screening, the UK's Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association (the theatrical distributors' association) recommended its members blacklist all future movies produced by Jules Buck.
Embassy Pictures re-released the film in May 1983.
An unsuccessful stage version of the movie opened at The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia in 1997 with some plot changes. For example, Jesus was changed to the Dalai Lama.
