The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
