Aimee Semple McPherson
Did anybody else think that the Sharon Falconer character was supposed to be Aimee Semple McPherson? The parallels seem really obvious...even her white robes are a dead ringer? What does anybody know, if you know?
shareI heard that the first time I saw the movie. It was also said that Elmer Gantry was based on Billy Sunday. Similar style.
sharedid no one see Miracle Woman (Capra's 1931 take on Sister Aimee)? of course in that film it was Barbara Stanwyck as Florence Fallon not Sharon Falconer - but it was Aimee all the way.
