This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband.

It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
