This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor plays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however the lead actress succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, early morning, Film4
