Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

with Jean Simmons
Burt Lancaster won an Oscar for his powerful performance as the con man who swaps his job as a travelling salesman for hell-fire preaching - a new position which gives him power and has the added advantage of being close to the beautiful Sharon. This adaptation of SINCLAIR LEWIS'S controversial novel retains and skilfully uses the 1920s Midwest setting.
Produced by BERNARD SMITH Written and directed by RICHARD BROOKS
