The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, yet Chastain manages to show the character in a likable light. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
