...entering Gloucester's fishing industry--that city's staple business--the church's members have offended not only the conventional religious mentality which binds the community, but also the sea, the sacrosanct element which, for centuries, has sustained Gloucester's economy and heritage. The "Moonies" are underselling the locally established fisheries, buying fish from trawlers at higher prices than anyone else can possibly afford. They have purchased waterfront property in the Cape Ann area at exorbitant prices--prices which were raised so high in the first place to keep them away. They are scaring Rotarians, small businessmen, local politicians...

The only element ignored by director Ted Kotcheff is the fans, who are never even glimpsed. Maybe it's just as well--you can only take so much of that decadent-Romans-drooling-over-the-slaves-being-eaten-by-lions stuff. But you can't help but feel that a whole dimension of professional sports...
