• Description: Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh and executive produced by Jerry Weintraub, this drama recreates the glittering private world of Liberace (Michael Douglas), the flamboyant, phenomenally successful entertainer whose extravagant costumes and elaborate stage shows made him the most bankable entertainer of his time. The story focuses on Liberaces tempestuous relationship with Scott Thorson (Matt Damon) during a time when Liberace was at the peak of his popularity but remained closeted as a homosexual. Featuring a pair of electrifying performances by Douglas and Damon, Behind the Candelabra captures the essence of Liberaces appeal while reminding viewers how different attitudes were at the time.
