Elmer Gantry
Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
A drama about a salesman turned preacher in the 1920s. The characters are interesting, and the cynicism of the preacher brings humor to an otherwise serious story. Burt Lancaster plays a very convincing dubious preacher and carries the whole film.
