This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
