When I was twelve, the passage from silent film to the talkies had an impact on me-I still watch silent films. I don't think that there is any such thing as an old film; you don't say, 'I read an old book by Flaubert,' or 'I saw an old play by Moliere.'

It mocks mercilessly the pretensions to truth of Mormonism and the pretensions to virtue of Mormon missionaries.
