5.0 out of 5 stars A satire that will move you to Christianity, April 19, 2003

This movie has got to be one of my all time favorites, Ellen Greene has a superb singing voice that totally rocks the house. And even though it is a satire, it moves me toward the Christian walk more than a Sunday School Preacher ever will. A movie of good things that can really happen, praise, faith, and human mistakes. This movie brought tears to my eyes when Sister Ruth (Ellen Greene), first got the spirit in her. This movie contains drugs, sex, and rock and roll. All the elements that preachers preach against. But it seems to get the message across that we are all sinners, and have to find our beliefs in our own way that will make sense to us. Richard Thomas and James Whitmore also make this a great movie. Just a little corny in the ending, but music and theme just makes you feel good inside.

This review is from: Glory Glory [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' roll... they've always worked for me" says Ellen Greene, in a knockout performance as a club singer turned televangelist. Richard Thomas is struggling to follow in Daddy's footsteps, and his TV church is failing...until he sees Ellen, and recruits her to the cause. His trusted aide Lester (James Whitmore, who won an ACE for this one) helps keep her in line...sort of. Lester's so good, he deserved his own movie. This is funnier now than when it was made; they'd had televangelist scandals then, but we've got Senators denouncing the "persecution of Christians" here and now... The connections between religion and politics do not escape Lindsay Anderson's notice. Just brilliant.
