Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This controversial, 1984 made-for-television movie gave Farrah Fawcett her first true showcase as an actress. Playing an abused wife who kills her monstrous husband (Paul Le Mat), Fawcett demonstrates a facility with the moral ambiguities of the story, which concerns the painful but fascinating questions of where justice lies. Fine support from Richard Masur and Grace Zabriskie, and the assured direction is by Robert Greenwald (Xanadu. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - True Story- Intense Abuse drives a woman to the brink of insanityThis is a true story about a woman who was driven to the point of insanity because of an abusive husband. The movie is set during a day and age where there was no help for the abused. My mom had bought this movie off of Amazon and shown it to me. Its worth every star and more. You start to feel deeply for the children and their mother who suffer great abuse at the hands of their father/husband. This movie is full of vivid horrendous scenes that feel very real. You start to feel immense hatred towards ... Read More Rating:  - Not as expected.This was a movie put from VHS to DVD. Unfortunately, when it arrived, it was region oe encoding, so I was not able to view it. I have seen the movie on VHS, and it is excellent, with suberb acting from ms. Fawcett. Rating:  - Gripping and realIt isn't often that I stay up until midnight watching a movie on TV, but this movie had me hooked. It is so easy to wonder why a woman doesn't leave, yet watching Fawcett you understand the social pressures to stay, and the game that is continually played. An excellent movie, one that has no surprise ending just takes you through the journey that is almost visible from the start. Despite that you can't stop watching, it is filled with raw, human emotions. Rating: - Landmark TV Movie - HarrowingThe Burning Bed is the true story of a woman who endures years of abuse mental and physical from her husband before finally snapping and killing him. The subject matter is still as relevant today as it was when it was released to much acclaim in 1984. In fact it should be essential viewing and therapy for any abusive person to see how they destroy lives. The movie would not have worked without the powerful central performance of Farrah Fawcett who deservedly was nominated for an Emmy and Golden ...
