Anecdotes
Liberace never publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, remaining closeted until his 1987 death. Victor Garber, who plays Liberace in this movie, was also closeted at the time of filming (the late 1980s), but by the early 2010s, he had come out in the press. In 2015, Garber married Canadian artist and model Rainer Andreesen; the couple had dated since 2000.

Gaffes
During a montage of Liberace's Las Vegas shows in the mid-Fifties, stock footage of the Strip and Downtown includes glimpses of hotels and showroom acts that date to late Seventies at earliest.

Behind the man

Just picked up this DVD in a bin at WalMart. I had never heard of the film, but glad I've added it to my collection. Although it does touch on Lee's homosexuality and the palimony suit of one of his many boyfriends, it also touches, lightly, on what actually made him the famous man he was. In a time when being gay was not accepted openly by anyone in show biz, he tried to keep things quiet - but the love of his mother and his obviously flamboyant way on stage kept the tongues wagging. After awhile people didn't care one way or another, they just loved his music and his show biz style. Classic Maureen Stapleton plays his mother and Saul Rubinek is interesting as his last manager. If you kind of flip through the soap opera script, you can still sit back and enjoy the music, which I believe is actually him playing.
