The film owes something to two earlier films made about evangelical con-men, "The Rainmaker" (1956), starring Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn, and the 1960 "Elmer Gantry" directed by Richard Brooks and starring Burt Lancaster (once again) and Jean Simmons. Other more contemporary films dealing with spiritual hucksters include "UFOria" (1980) with Cindy Williams and Harry Dean Stanton, and the documentary "Marjoe" (1972) directed by Howard Smith and Sarah Kernochan.

One of a few serious performances by actor/comedian Steve Martin. Others include "Pennies from Heaven" (1981) and "Grand Canyon" (1991).

Editorial Reviews
"...The movie itself has considerable qualities, among them Martin's performance....[Winger] does a wonderful job of grounding the movie in reality..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/18/1992)
