Too Much of a Good Thing is Wonderful-A Biopic of Liberace


The HBO movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh called " Behind the Candelabra" is a credible biopic of the rise and fall of Liberace.

A gifted showman, Liberace was a wizard on the piano who  kept his life as a homosexual under wraps as he indulged in the gay world in the early days of AIDS .

Today, Elton John mirrors Liberace in some way; himself a gay too.

That Liberace finally succumbed to AIDS just like Freddy Mercury and Rock Hudson did not dampen his fame as the rhinestone performer that reinvented himself with flowing white robes, glittering, red garbs and a candelabra on the piano.

Liberace and Scott
Great made-for-tv movie to watch with  naughty dialogue and gay action  from Michael Douglas as Lee-Liberace and Matt Damon as Scott Thorson.
