Well, once upon a time - -In the film""s opening scene, a long traveling shot racks from right to left within the newspaper offices of Chicago""sMorning Postto display the working world of journalism.Plot SynopsisThe film opens with an upward-scrolling preface or itle-card disclaimer - to waylay expected fears that the film (considered unsuitable for the big-screen) would cause resentment (and possibly cause it to be banned for its offensive nature) because of its caricatured portrayal of a degenerate revivalist religious figure:"We believe that certain aspects of Revivalism can bear examination -- that the conduct of some revivalists makes a mockery of the traditional beliefs and practices of organized Christianity! We believe that everyone has a right to worship according o his conscience, but --Freedom of Religion is not license to abuse the faith of the people! However, due to the highly controversial nature of this film, we strongly urge you to prevent impressionable children from seeing it!"After the opening credits with a stark and stylized image of a tilted cross (and then a more traditional wooden cross casting a long dark shadow), a close-up of the first textual page of Sinclair Lewis"" novel is then portrayed, beginning with the first paragraph: "Chapter 1 - Elmer Gantry was drunk.Well, you should have seen this kid fight for me that night."- "Honey, remember our last bout with champagne? Why say.We got so plastered why they threw us out in the gutter.And it took five waiters to do it.Yes, and not only that, it took five cops to land us in jail."- (And pulling him toward her for a kiss) "Oh Joe, it""s just life to see ya.Come here, crawl to me baby.Crawl o me."Later on in the evening, to get away from a tipsy Mrs.Jellyman and a bawdy and boozing Maudie, Joe excuses himself with Miss Healy to go on a house tour.Remaining at the table, Mrs.Jellyman asks:Mrs.Jellyman: Do you believe in love at first sight?Maudie: I dunno, but it saves an awful lot of time.Maudie remembers what Joe was like in the past: "When I first met him, he was a third-rate part.But I always said he had he makings, Mabel." Maudie offers her more to drink: "Your glass is empty! Now listen Mabel, if you""re gonna be Broadway, you gotta learn to take it.
