Carries an emotional wallop
31 March 2015
Kudos to director Allan Glaser for expanding this powerful bio-film to include facts about Mr. Hunter's personal life struggles and not focusing entirely on just his Hollywood film career. The result is an entertaining and emotionally touching film about a man who is much deeper than one might assume. His strength of character shines through in his candid discussions about being a heartthrob for teenage girls while living a secret life as a gay man during the 1950s. For the first time Mr. Hunter talks about the father he never knew, his mother's mental illness and his faith in God and the church even after the church seemingly rejected him because of his openness and honesty. Tab Hunter is a survivor and this is one Hollywood story with a happy ending.
