The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the battle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, yet the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
