I would not have picked it first but, it was a very good movie and reasonably well done with a reasonably accurate portrayal of the life of an honorable Southern revivalist(or should I say evangelist). Because I grew up in God's country (that'll be the South) and have been through a tent or two (or three) I actually thought the movie lacked just a bit of the life that the real event brings. But the movie centered mainly on the life of one individual - a modern evangelist struggling to contain or manage sin in his world of grace - and Duvall did a very, very good job of portraying this character.
