A biting and hilarious satire on televangelism, Glory! Glory! follows a fallen singer's rise to fame as "Sister Ruth" in a faith-fueled media circus. Irreverent, bold, and unforgettable.
In Glory! Glory!, acclaimed director Lindsay Anderson delivers a bold, irreverent, and sharply funny satire of American televangelism. The film traces the meteoric rise of a small-town preacher's ministry into a money-making media empire, fueled by outlandish sermons, sensational music, and spectacle. Reverend Bobby Joe (Richard Thomas), struggling to fill his late father's shoes, reinvents his ministry by teaming up with Ruth (Ellen Greene), a brash, drug-addicted singer who reinvents herself as the magnetic "Sister Ruth."
With hits like "Back in Jesus' Arms" and "Satan Sucks", their church becomes a televised sensation. But as fame, drugs, scandal, and profit motives collide, the church's mission spirals into chaos. With a supporting cast including James Whitmore, George Buza, and Barry Morse, Glory! Glory! walks a fine line between biting satire and genuine insight, offering a wild and thought-provoking glimpse into the world of commercial religion.
