This version of this song, written for the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name, gives me chills. Carl Anderson's huge voice, which must have filled a theater, was perfect for this song, sung by the Judas character in this telling of the Passion Play.
This is an example of a movie getting a stage musical right, from the first scene to the last. The movie clearly had a late 60's/early 70's vibe, and this movie didn't forget that, right down to the last detail. And while movie sets get to be a lot bigger than theater stages, this movie didn't get overly extravagant in using that extra space. They did get to use some better scene splicing, though.
Enjoy this scene from near the end of the movie.
