Yet the disconnected phone in the room repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, while the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor plays the venal Jim, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, though the lead actress achieves to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel

He receives a mission with uncovering a double agent among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his spouse.
