John Denver goes to a revival meeting at the Shrine Auditorium, 665 W. Jefferson Blvd., in Carl Reiner's film "Oh, God!" (Warner Bros., 1977). Paul Sorvino is the greedy reverend that God (George Burns) has sent Denver to chastise. It doesn't go well. Terri Garr plays Denver's wife, desperately trying to understand her husband's craziness.

Some of the faithful up in the balcony.
Head to the Shrine Auditorium pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the theatre including many vintage photos. It's a 1926 design by G. Albert Lansburgh situated near USC.
On IMDb: "Oh, God!"
