1960 Movie, focuses on Fake Religion. Adapted from a 1927 novel by Sinclair Lewis. Gantry, a silver tongued Salesman Joins up with a Faith Healer who is real Eye Candy, and creates an empire based on Fleecing the Flock.
Somewhere between 1927 and now, the World of Elmer Gantry has been adopted by the politicians, who like Gantry are doomed to fall from the weight of their own vices and avarice.
The movie is great fun, and I think Amazon has DVD's for less than ten dollars. The Book is in most libraries.
