SYNOPSIS: Extremely rare straight-to-video account of homosexuality in Hollywood. Covering everything from silent star Rudolph Valentino up to the AIDS related deaths of Rock Hudson and Anthony Perkins. This documentary is a collection of film scenes, news footage and behind-the-clips with narration. It’s an informative and respectful overview of celebrities forced to hide their sexual preferences. Sham marriages to fool the tabloids, careers ruined and people forced to stay in the closet. Longer segments include pieces on Cary Grant, Sal Mineo, Cesar Romero and Liberace (who successfully sued a gossip rag for $25 million). Similar in vein to Kenneth Anger’s infamous Hollywood Babylon this film actually fact checks and debunks some of Anger’s stories. A fascinating, and sometimes sad, look at this subject. Running time: 1hr 25mins.
