A stirring Southern tale of startling faith and lurid exploitation! Salome Jens stars as Angel Baby, a beautiful mute woman whose voice is restored by a bible-thumping preacher (George Hamilton in a dynamic dramatic role). But as she hits the tent revival circuit to save souls and heal the sick, many around her are more interested in profit than the gospel. Burt Reynolds makes his screen debut alongside excellent supporting turns by Mercedes McCambridge, Joan Blondell, and Henry Jones. Haskell Wexler provides the striking black and white cinematography.
