The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 4.4: Elmer Gantry

It's 1960 and Burt Lancaster plays a smooth-talking chancer who becomes part of a religious revivalist movement in the prohibition-era. Acting alongside other notables like Jean Simmons, Arthur Kennedy and Shirley Jones, this was the role that won Lancaster his only Academy Award for Best Actor. The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold examines a series of thematically-linked films - this time, we're taking a look at the films of Burt Lancaster, as we go From Here To Lancaster!
