FWIW, Sinclair Lewis’s book was published the year after Aimee’s adventure.

"Will Hays and the Production Code had specifically banned Elmer Gantry from being adapted for the screen..."

I saw this Barbara Stanwick movie on TCM and liked it. Miracle Woman

Miss Stanwick plays a charismatic evangelist, based on Aimee Semple McPherson. You wouldn't think so by seeing this picture, but the guy is supposed to be blind. He's David Manners. He was in Dracula and The Mummy.
