Footloose came out in 1984.
Neal McCreadyHOST
It starred Kevin Baker as Ren McCormack with John Lithgow as Reverend Shaw Moore, the minister behind the town's ban on dancing.
Neal McCreadyHOST
The movie never names Reverend Moore's denomination.
Neal McCreadyHOST
He's portrayed as a conservative fundamentalist style Protestant preacher in a small town, fictional Beaumont, Utah, in the original.
Michael GarfieldHOST
One of the themes in that crazy little town called Beaumont was about banned books, and they referred to a specific book that was banned, and they had a book-burning thing that, uh, John Lithgow stopped.
