## Description

Bespangled pianist Liberace remains one of the most unique performers in the history of popular music. Born of Polish-Italian extraction in 1919 Wisconsin, Wladziu Liberace was a child prodigy, winning a musical scholarship at age seven and making his solo concert debut four years later. When he returned from performing in an armed forces band during WWII, the pianist decided to leave a promising classical career in pursuit of mainstream stardom, and, by the early 1950s, was a successful pop recording artist. As Liberace began utilizing everything from cocktail jazz and Tin Pan Alley standards to easy-listening versions of classical themes, his showmanship expanded, encompassing outrageous costumes and elaborate stage designs. Even after his records stopped selling, Liberace continued to remain a huge concert attraction (particularly in sin-city Las Vegas) until his AIDS-related death in February 1987. This appropriately glitzy made-for-TV biopic dramatizes the long and varied career of the larger-than-life pianist, with actor Victor Garber (ALIAS, TITANIC) turning in a fine lead performance as Mr. Showmanship himself.

    well done: Michael Douglas & Matt Damon must be seen to be believed
  

*by S***  on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015*

An intriguing biopic;  I ordered it after reading a New Yorker magazine article on Liberace. I knew nothing about him other than as a flamboyant guy who played the piano…i was incredulous that michael douglas would take on this role.  the dapper douglas jettisoned all ego as the embodiment of one of the icons of our time.  And the glorious Matt Damon - of the Bourne Conspiracy films - he,too, played against type here - another unlikely but excellent choice.  These two actors who could have rested on their laurels & chosen any roles, rose to the challenge of portraying two tragic figures: the aging closet gay Liberace & the lonely young man who gave himself up to this father figure with disastrous results. Without flinching, the actors boldly embody the eventual debased humiliation of both men.  intense & gripping; i highly recommend it - but not for the faint of heart.

    Liberace--one of a kind may he rest in peace
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2009*

A movie made in Canada the year after Liberace's death; I bought it because years ago I had seen a movie on TV on the same subject, and I thought this was the one; it was not, however it is really great (I would be embarrassed to say how many times I have watched this film since I got it two weeks ago) It shows Liberace's early adult life as he becomes famous.  Victor Garber (from Titanic) is just great in the lead, and is so believable; the voice, the mannerisms, he even looks like him; and his manager played by Saul Rubinek is wonderful too.  The music is a treat, the acting good, the story entertaining. Last but not least, the movie handles Liberace's  personal life in a very sensitive way.  Would recommend it highly for Liberace fans, and it only cost something like $2, so go buy it--what do you have to lose???  It is out of print so it may not be available for long.

    Compare to HBO's Behind the Candlelabra
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013*

I purchased this item since the Emmy nominations came out today, 7/18/13. I enjoyed the HBO movie with Michael Douglass and Matt Damon. I also grew up watching Liberace on TV. I didn't worry about who he really was. Gays closeted themselves, since to have come out would have ruined their careers, much like mental illness has a stigma. Victor Garber was always a favorite actor of mine and I would like to see how his performance differs from the new version. In some ways the actual Liberace always seemed somewhat cartoonish. That is how he protected himself. I will probably have more to say after viewing the DVD. I also want to see if there is a mention of Scott Thorson, who wrote the book the Douglass/Damon version was based upon. Interest in the Thorson book has spiked and given him another fifteen minutes of fame. But one thing that can be said is Liberace was a talented musican.
