NOTES
Original source was the YIFY release of September 15, 2014.
However, the YIFY versions (both 720p and 1080p) had the audio
delayed by about 10 seconds, so I had to resync. Also added
English subtitles.
ALLMOVIE RATING: 4.5/5 stars
SYNOPSIS
Elmer Gantry (Burt Lancaster), a drunken, dishonest street preacher
allegedly patterned on Billy Sunday, wrangles a job with the
travelling tent ministry conducted by Sister Sharon Falconer (Jean
Simmons). Thanks to Gantry's enthusiastic hellfire-and-brimstone
sermons, Sister Sharon's operation rises to fame and fortune,
enough so that Sharon realizes her dream of building her own
enormous tabernacle. These ambitions are put in jeopardy when a
prostitute (Oscar-winning Shirley Jones), a former minister's
daughter who'd been deflowered by Gantry years earlier, lures
Gantry into a compromising situation and has photographs taken. It
took several years for any Hollywood studio to take a chance with
Sinclair Lewis' novel, and when it finally did arrive on the
screen, producer/director Richard Brooks was compelled to downplay
some of the more "sacrilegious" passages in the original. Also
appearing in Elmer Gantry are Arthur Kennedy as an H.L. Mencken-
style atheistic journalist, and Edward Andrews as George Babbitt, a
character borrowed from another Sinclair Lewis novel.
