Lindsay Anderson's hilarious parody of the church, GLORY! GLORY!, follows a television evangelist show from its roots in a small country church to its complete and total sell-out to commercialism. The Reverend Dan Stuckey (Barry Morse) slowly and painstakingly builds a TV ministry in a tiny country church, taking in half a million dollars a day. His accountant, Reverend Lester Babbitt, (James Whitmore) was given Divine guidance on how to evade taxes on the Church's investments. After his death, Reverend Bobby Joe (Richard Thomas) tries to follow in his father's footsteps. But his boring philosophical sermons fail to bring in enough money to keep the Church afloat. Seeking guidance from God he goes to the sight of his father's first church, where he sat mesmerized by his preaching, only to find its been replaced by a rock-n-roll bar. He goes into the bar and is captivated by Ruth (Ellen Greene), a foul-mouthed, drug-addicted singer-songwriter who's desperate for a big break. She agrees to take on the persona of "Sister Ruth," to help Reverend Bobby Joe repopularize his church. Her songs, "Back in Jesus' Arms," and "Satan Sucks," prove instant hits and the money starts flowing again. But when her needs: cocaine, an abortion, prove to be too much of a burden, Lester calls in Vincent (George Buza), an ex-con who's found Jesus "helps" the Church. From there, the church's circus atmosphere only gets crazier. (Verleiher-Text)
