Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A novel written by Sinclair Lewis and published in 1927, Elmer Gantry was brought to the screen by director and writer Richard Brooks in 1960. The title role was played by Burt Lancaster, who won an Academy Award along with co-star Shirley Jones (who played Lulu Bains) and Brooks' screenplay. Jean Simmons also starred as Sharon Falconer. There was also a 2007 opera adaptation by Robert Aldridge, with libretto by Herschel Garfein.Elmer Gantry was once a college athlete who decided to go into the legal profession. He ditches the legal profession and becomes a traveling salesman. During his travels, he "decides" his true calling is in the ministry and becomes a preacher. However, his actions do much more harm than good. | |

The Artifact | |
| Elmer Gantry / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The scene in the film where Elmer badgers Lefferts the reporter into admitting that he doesn't accept the divinity of Christ is taken from a scene in the novel where Elmer does the same with a rival minister. This explains to some degree the rather odd tone in the scene in the movie, where Lefferts' denial of Christ is inexplicably treated as a shocking moment. In the book, it is a shocking moment, as the person denying Christ is a minister. | |
