If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? (1971)

This astonishing little movie hits a rare trifecta of foaming-mouth lunacy: barking dogma, Cold War paranoia and Dixie-fried exploitation filmmaking at its unintentionally funniest. the unlikely collaboration of two of the least inspiring men of their respective trades: the Rev. Estus W. Pirkle, a Mississippi preacher who had a minor following thanks to mail order sales of audiotaped sermons, and Alan Ormond, a Grade Z filmmaker who gave the world such nonsense as "The Monster and the Stripper" and "The Girl from Tobacco Road." Ormond came to Rev. Pirkle's peculiar theology after being born-again, although his embrace of faith did not include an upgrade in his filmmaking skills. With this film, Ormond simply replaced the buxom starlets of his older flicks with fat redneck broads in polyester dresses shouting "Praise Jesus!" while keeping the rickety and incompetent trademarks of his cinematic style.
