Elmer Gantry is a 1960 drama film about a con man and a female evangelist selling religion to small-town America. Adapted by director Richard Brooks, the film is based on the 1927 novel of the same name by Sinclair Lewis and stars Burt Lancaster, Jean Simmons, Arthur Kennedy, Shirley Jones and Patti Page. Elmer Gantry was nominated for five Academy Awards in 1961, including Best Picture and Best Score. It won Best Actor for Lancaster, Best Supporting Actress for Jones, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Jean Simmons was nominated for the best actress Golden Globe award. The movie presents fewer than 100 pages of the novel Elmer Gantry, deleting many characters and fundamentally changing the character and actions of female evangelist, Sister Sharon Falconer, as played by Simmons. The character of Sharon Falconer was loosely based on elements in the career of the Canadian-born American radio evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, who founded the Pentecostal Christian denomination known as the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in 1927. In addition, a plot point from the end of the novel is incorporated into Gantry's and Lulu Bains relationship, fundamentally changing the fates of both characters.

トラックリスト口が達者で女の扱いも巧みなセールスマン、エルマー・ガントリー。彼はある時、美しい女性伝道師シャロンと出会う。そして、彼女に惹かれたことを機に、その宗教団体へ入会してしまうのだった。始めはシャロンの気を引くため目立とうとしたエルマーだが、弁が立つ上、その強烈な個性で団体を代表する伝道師として台頭していく。またシャロンとの関係も深まる中、自らを売り出そうと今度は売春撲滅を訴え始めるエルマー。しかし、そんな彼にかつて身を持ち崩された挙げ句、娼婦となったルルが現われる。さらには、新聞記者によってその過去を公にされてしまうエルマーだが…。
