The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
