Contem comigo para ver alegorias de pastores como pilantras. Não sei muito sobre o background desse filme, apenas sei que essa versão não é a original que Micheaux pretendeu antes de se render à censura, não sei se a questão "é tudo um sonho" foi originalmente pretendida ou para dar uma aliviada na perversão geral, só sei que o que se tornou clichê no decorrer das décadas era ainda inventivo em 1925.

Robeson is electric as the sinister preacher and the new jazz score on the criterion disc is one of the best I've heard for a silent film. It should be noted, however, that the plot for the film is very similar to Chaplin's The Pilgrim, released only two years prior to Body and Soul's debut.
