Ciné-club Vézère :”Elmer Gantry, le charlatan”

Elmer Gantry, a smooth-talking commercial traveler, crosses paths with evangelist Sister Sharon Falconer, sniffs out a bargain, converts and enjoys immense success as an inspirational preacher. But his past catches up with him?

With Elmer Gantry, the charlatan, adapted by Richard Brooks from the novel of the same name by Sinclair Lewis, we’re given an insight into the folklore and sociology of America in the 1950s, with a dizzying dive into the world of itinerant preachers who travel through towns and villages spreading the good word.
