Amazon.co.uk Review
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. The Burning Bed has fine support from Richard Masur and Grace Zabriskie, and the assured direction is by Robert Greenwald (Xanadu). --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional Heronic Drama, 26 Aug 2004
This review is from: The Burning Bed [VHS] [1984] (VHS Tape)
Very good, I was especially pleased with this movie, it moved me, because of all the abuse we see in the world today, especially by men onto women I felt very pleased to see a woman overcome the situation she was in and not be held responsible for trying to survive .

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful performance, 29 Jun 2009
I haven't seen this film since it aired in the mid eighties in the United Kingdom, but I've never forgotten the sight of Farrah Fawcett looking incredibly small and vulnerable, in prison overalls with no make up and hair roots showing, as the battered wife giving evidence after killing her tormentor. This performance was a revelation as I had only ever thought of her as "The blonde one with big hair out of Charlie's Angels".

During the handful of obituaries broadcast in the UK, only one briefly mentioned that she took on some heavyweight dramatic roles.

She was a fine actress and it's a damned shame if she is not remembered for films such as this. Is there any chance of a region two release? I live in hope.
