Elmer Gantry
“If there was a dollar to be made—Gantry would make it … If there was a soul to be saved—Gantry would save it …”
Drama
A charismatic charlatan begins a business — and eventually romantic — relationship with a roadside evangelist to sell religion to 1920s America. Based on Sinclair Lewis' novel of the same name.
VIBE
A darkly-tinged, cynical look at faith and fraud. It feels like a grand, sweeping drama with a sharp edge, exploring the intoxicating blend of piety and performance. Expect grand speeches and simmering desires.
