An irreverent and often scandalous behind-the-scenes look at the early days of the Christian movie business. January 1952 -- a time of "blacklists," the Korean War and A-bomb blasts in Nevada. When 23-year-old Randy Dillard leaves North Carolina to work for a religious film company in Hollywood he discovers that nothing is what he expects: a former cowboy star plays Jesus; the key grip produces stag films; the narrator spouts filthy limericks; the screenwriter is a blacklisted atheist; the denominational representatives love Las Vegas gambling; and the producer of The Living Savior is Jewish. Should be an interesting year.
