Farrah is superb in The Burning Bed, A Must See!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Back when this film first aired 25 years ago, I was skeptical that I would like this film. I was shocked by Ms. Fawcett's performance. I rooted for her character. I wanted her to get away from her abusing husband. Paul LeMat plays that abusive husband you'd love to take a whack at. I was glad that she did what she had to to get away from him. It leaves you with a lump in your throat. This film marked the second of Ms. Fawcett's serious roles that she would do in her career (the fist serious role was in 1980's Murder In Texas). We lost Farrah this year to cancer at the age of 62. You don't have to be a fan of Ms. Fawcett's to add this film to your movie library, you just have to like good, well made films. This film is based on actual characters and events. The MGM DVD of this film features a good transfer of the film. Seeming like a newer film than a 20 year old film, as it was when issued on DVD in 2004. A Must Have For Any Movie Collection.
