The Messiah on Mott Street was so cliquish for late 60's film. The poor orphan, the old dying guy, and the surprise stranger who helps. Over filmed, over dialogue and so many did this done to often style of filming; I found the Christmas special too long and draws out the the conclusion like a bad joke. Just does not age well. The Painted mirror was surprisingly good. Nice to see a younger Zaa Zaa. The story was a bit dated and stretched, But the pained over mirror was cool. What was with the mirror? Good special effects for the late 60's. Predictable ending but fun too watch. The Painted Mirror was the better of the two installments. The two together I give 6 stars.
