The 1977 film Oh, God! is a comedy about a supermarket manager named Jerry Landers (John Denver) who is visited by God (George Burns). God tells Jerry that he has been chosen to be his messenger to the world.
Jerry is initially skeptical, but he eventually agrees to do as God asks. He begins to spread God's message of love and peace, but he soon finds himself in the middle of a controversy. Some people believe that Jerry is a fraud, while others believe that he is truly a messenger from God.
Jerry eventually has to face a religious tribunal that is determined to discredit him. However, with God's help, Jerry is able to prove that he is telling the truth.
Oh, God! is a lighthearted and heartwarming film that explores themes of faith, love, and acceptance. It is a reminder that God is always with us, even when we doubt him.
The film was a critical and commercial success, and it spawned two sequels: Oh, God! Book II (1980) and Oh, God! You Devil (1984). It is a classic film that has been enjoyed by audiences of all ages for decades.
