	Biography for Marjoe Gortner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Marjoe (his name is a combination of "Mary" and "Joseph") eventually became disillusioned with what he considered a huge deception and withdrew from the scene entirely during his teens.
		Marjoe's potent roles in the TV projects The Marcus-Nelson Murders (1973) (TV) and The Gun and the Pulpit (1974) (TV) capitalized on this off-centered flamboyance and showed off his obvious potential.
		Marjoe stumbled through some more films in the 80s, but even HE, with his charismatic powers, couldn't save himself from coming off badly in such drivel as Mausoleum (1983/I) and Hellhole (1985) and his career sank into oblivion.

		Gortner succeeded in using this film to launch a modest career in movies (including a role in the 1974 disaster hit Earthquake), and his deceptive preaching was just another form of acting.
		MARJOE is both a fiery baptism in the cynical waters of faith healing and evangelical fervor and a fascinating profile of a man who went from hellfire to hellraising.
		Marjoe is the court jester of evangelists, and I thank him for doing this film and tarnishing his name on the Pentecostal circuit by doing so.

	January 14 - Marjoe Gortner
		Marjoe, named for Mary and Joseph by his Evangelical minister parents, was the youngest ordained minister in the United States, achieving the title at the tender age of 4 when he could competently preach a sermon and quote scripture.
		He and his angelic yellow curls went on to pack revival tents throughout the South until he was 17, when he left his profession with a vengeance, devoting quite some time to debunking the charismatic Evangelical church into which he had been born.
		Marjoe Gortner was born on January 14, 1943.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Marjoe
		The business to which Marjoe refers is the grassroots Pentecostal church-and-tent revival circuit that, by the age of four, his parents had him working as an ordained minister, fire-and-brimstone proselytizer, and all-around huckster.
		As he grew into a teen and his carnival sideshow appeal wore off, however, Marjoe (his name a combination of Mom "Mary" and Dad "Joseph") abandoned the biz, shacked up with an older, sexually experienced woman, and eventually embraced the burgeoning counterculture and a more vague, Zen-like spirituality.
		Its immediacy undiminished by its crude construction, Marjoe, in its juxtaposition of weeping zealots with holy men claiming their new Cadillacs are part of God's will, captures the latter's psychological manipulation tactics and the former's willing complicity in their own deception.

	Starcrash Review (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Meanwhile, smugglers Stella Star (Caroline Munro) and her colleague Akton (Marjoe Gortner) are being pursued by the police in their own spaceship, but by keeping their wits about them and some expert flying, they manage to evade capture.
		The plot is perfunctory to say the least, barely an excuse for the running around and the extremely colourful setpieces, most of which involve Munro in a selection of skimpy, Barbarella-style outfits (which she gets away with in a way that only she can) and placed in peril.
		Along their quest, the space duo are doublecrossed, but make a great friend in the robot companion Elle; now with a name like that you'd expect it to sport a sultry, female voice but Elle sounds like he's been rejected from The Dukes of Hazzard.

		The film Marjoe raises questions about the nature of spiritual phenomena that should be of interest to most anyone.

	Marjoe Gortner - Biography - Moviefone
		In the early 1970s, Gortner turned his back on all that, summing up his new philosophy in the tell-all 1972 documentary Marjoe.
		Touted by Columbia's publicity department as the embodiment of "magnetic masculinity," Gortner never caught on as a leading man; his most impressive achievements in the past 20 years have been in the field of fundraising.
		Still, Marjoe Gortner has kept his hand in moviemaking into the 1990s, accepting supporting roles in films like Fire, Ice and Dynamite (1991) and Wild Bill (1995).

	JOLLYBLOGGER: The Holy Spirit and Rhetorical Skills
		Marjoe's full name is Marjoe Gortner, who later became an actor and starred in such memorable Hollywood classics as BobbieJoe and the Outlaw and Starcrash.
		For Marjoe, the supposed works of the Holy Spirit at his meetings were nothing more than entertainment and a carefully orchestrated emotional release valve for the participants.
		Jeremy is right - although I used Marjoe as the example and although he is in the Pentecostal tradition this was not meant to be a dig at charismatic/pentecostal types.

	Marjoe \| The A.V. Club
		Marjoe follows an adult Gortner on a farewell tour of sorts, as he preens and preaches his way through one final journey deep into the pocketbooks of enraptured Pentecostal crowds before moving on to more honest, rewarding labor.
		Gortner outs himself as a charlatan, a sensitive, progressive hippie still masquerading in public as a fiery pitchman for old-time religion.
		Gortner puts on one hell of a show—complete with stage moves openly copped from super-sinner Mick Jagger—and in return gets paid accordingly, just like any other entertainer diligently working a loyal fan base.

		Part documentary, part expose, this film follows one-time child evangelist Marjoe Gortner on the "church tent" Revivalist circuit, commenting on the showmanship of Evangelism and "the religion business", prior to the start of "televangelism".
		The son of professional evangelists, Marjoe was already preaching at the age of three and performing marriages one year later.
		Through home movies, interviews and footage of Marjoe leading revival meetings, the film shows how this admitted huckster was able to convince and excite audiences with his fiery performances.

		Assisted by his hippie girl friend Clark, Gortner screams, yells, threatens, and intimidates the customers until at last someone finally shuts up the lout.
		Gortner's tirade is nonstop and grows tiresome quickly.
		In a strange way, his portrayal is not unlike the real-life performance he gave as an evangelical minister in the documentary of the former child preacher's life, MARJOE.

		I was just rading up on Marjoe Gortner (didja know he was in Food of the Gods?) I remember him being a minister at some point in his life but I didn't know he was ordained at 4 years old.
		I thought Gortner was somewhat over the top in Earthquake as the nutbar National Guard lieutenant, but I haven't seen it in so long it's hard to say, Scir.
		1948, at the age of four, Marjoe was officially ordained and thrust into a wildly successful career as the Shirley Temple of America's Bible Belt, the sprawling non-geographic community of strict adherents to the Christian scriptures.

		Plot Summary: Part documentary, part expose, this film follows one-time child evangelist Marjoe Gortner on the "church tent" Revivalist circuit...
		Gortner's well-produced expose of the tent-revival circuit shows the denizens of that world for what they are,which offended and embarrassed a great many fundamentalists and the preachers who often fleece them; these thugs were the direct ancestors of our modern,slick televangelists.
		It's not so much that all of them are crooked -- though a good many are crooks and/or hypocrites -- but the overwhelming majority of even the "legitimate" ones tend to be businessmen and showmen first, preachers second (if it doesn't hurt the bottom line).

		Afterwards, according to Marjoe, the only fitting encore to the overwhelming moment of being saved is a personal demonstration of the power of that newfound faith.
		This is the motivating factor that prompts speaking in tongues, also known as the 'receiving of the holy ghost.' As Marjoe explained it, this well-known evangelical tradition required even greater participation on the part of the tongues recipient and the entire audience.
		Marjoe acknowledged that his power over an audience derived primarily from the skills he perfected as a child, techniques of rhetoric and public speaking that have passed down from the Greeks.

	A Small Victory: I Feel the Earth Move: Earthquake! and the Disaster of Marjoe Gortner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Although Marjoe didn't have much of a career after Earthquake (he was in another favorite cheese film of mine, Food of the Gods), his role in this movie left an indelible impression on me. I think I could walk the halls of a thousand prisons and never come across anyone that more terrifying than Gortner.
		But it will always be Gortner's Jody that will define this movie for me. Perhaps he was a metaphor for the earthquake itself - a predator, a destroyer of lives.
		A note about Marjoe Gortner: his "acting" career came about, partially, because of a documentary on his life as a kid preacher called "Marjoe." There's actually an IMDB entry on it.
