The breakdown: This is the story based on the autobiographical novel of Liberace and his much younger lover, Scott Thorson.
So Liberace apparently seduced this young L.A. guy who worked with animals for stage and screen. They start a love affair and the young lover moves in almost right away. Liberace tells him he wants to adopt him so that if anything happens his young lover will be taken care of. Soon, Liberace has eyes for a new younger lover and Scott Thorson is kicked out.
A downer of a movie, but there wasn't anything else to watch, which is why I sat through an anal sex scene between Damon and Douglas.
Um, I don't know how to rate this one. I guess if you liked Liberace it's worth your time, if not, maybe not then.
If I had to put a number to it - 3 out of 5 for being well done, just not super great.
