Here at the Stream Tracker team, we take a look at Richard Brooks' blistering 1960 adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' Elmer Gantry — a story of pulpit theatrics, tent revivals and a charismatic charlatan who peddles salvation across 1920s America. Burt Lancaster’s electric performance won the Academy Award for Best Actor and Shirley Jones received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and the film’s sermons on hypocrisy and redemption still sting. In this article we’ll track where you can catch the revival on streaming — whether Elmer Gantry is available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+.

Synopsis

In 1920s America, a smooth-talking grifter teams up with a traveling evangelist, building a profitable enterprise—and later a romantic bond—as they turn religion into a marketable spectacle across the nation. Adapted from Sinclair Lewis’s novel of the same name.
