What a wonderful cameo role for the gifted late great black character actor Rex Ingram! THANKS for uploading this powerful clip from an excellent film!

Not even Doodles Weaver ???

I can't imagine anyone but Lancaster pulling this role off.
-
Burt Lancaster is one hell of an actor and this film really does show just that!
A MIUST SEE FILM, highly recommend it!
-
Netflix is really good for finding old classic movies and obscure indie films and documentaries.
-
the best of the film is when Lancaster sings!
yet i would suggest another ending: that he gets enough of sister Falconer as she has become an usual woman, and then he leaves, just so with one suit case, while she is standing and looking at him leaving; it should be rather a satire, not a melodrama
This beautiful movie was once available in full on YouTube but has been removed for copyrite reasons, as if Burt Lancaster, Jean Simmons, Arthur Kennedy, Shirley Jones or Sinclair Lewis would realize anything from this "protection". In an age of CGI Elmer Gantry will never be re-released but the net is one place where young people can find powerful perfromances based on one of America's greatest authors. Imagine what it costs studios just to monitior and enforce this censorship. Madness!
