Fake faith healer Jonas Nightingale is stranded in a small town where he finds he can't fool all of the people all of the time.
The movie was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2012. Featuring music by Alan Menken, it ran only 19 performances (plus 25 previews).
Jonas:
A woman is like a slingshot. The greater the resistance, the further you can get with her.
During the first "healing" sequence, Jonas addresses the woman who needs a job. Meanwhile, his assistants ready another audience member, a blonde woman in a blue dress, at the opposite side of the stage. However, in the next shot, the blonde woman has been replaced by the "gambling man" who Jonas picked out of the audience earlier.
During the closing credits, the 'Angels of Mercy' singers are shown singing to a tent full of people (including some of the cast members).
