• Based on the powerful Sinclair Lewis novel, this film is as watchable today as it was when it won 3 Academy Awards in 1960. It’s the story of a con-man preacher, (Burt Lancaster, best actor) a beautiful Evangelist, (Jean Simmons) and a prostitute (Shirley Jones, best supporting actress) whose lives intertwine in a way that will keep you enthralled right up to the end. Shirley Jones will join us in the theater for a Q&A after the screening.
