Elmer Gantry (1960)
Oh, this movie was so not my comfort zone. Burt Lancaster as a conman and Jean Simmons as an evangelist selling religion to small town America in the late 1920's.
Having said that Lancaster was excellent as was the shock finale and i could watch Simmons reading the telephone book for two hours...or in this case the Bible, but as i said, this film was really not for me.
Yes, i expect to burn in hell.
