Fascinating. The star still shines. Some older gay actors are reluctant to talk about their experiences so thank you Mr Hunter. This will help young gay people coming to terms with their sexuality today. Includes interviews with stars like Don Murray, Terry Moore, Debbie Reynolds, Connie Stevens, Darryl Hickman, George Takei - all looking great too!
... View MoreThe real reason i rather enjoyed this biopic was simple. This was a guy who is just a decent man. Extremely talented...had no idea he was a figure skater or horseman. I never saw him as a incredibly handsome man...guess he isn't my type, but i really enjoyed listening to his comments. For once, someone who is down to earth and not outlandish or known for antics and acting up. Just a decent human being with his faults, but also obvious virtues.Its worth watching....not too many like this anymore. I really miss real, insightful and honest people on TV anymore.
... View MoreI had the privilege of viewing the uncut version last year with Allan and Tab and I am so completely impressed with the finished and so professionally done final product.I saw it at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in La Jolla several nights ago and once again ( as obviously has been the "norm), Tab and Allan and Jeffrey got a standing ovation. It was interesting to stand outside as the earlier showing people exited and hearing them rave about it. The same thing happened after the showing we watched. They deserve all the kudos they are getting as I was captivated from beginning to end and Tab's narration was so heart warming and truthful . I have known him around 50 yrs and I learned more about him with every sentence . You could just feel the emotion in every word he said. I will never get tired of watching it and will attend the Middleburg, VA Film Festival to watch it again. Can't wait for everyone to see and experience what Tab endured on his way to his current peace and happy life with his soul completely bared . My only disappointment is you never get to see enough of what a truly gifted horseman he really is and was. Loved the whole thing !!
... View MoreThis new film held the audience spellbound at the 2015 Cleveland International Film Festival. It was especially effective having the actual subject serve as narrator. Hunter's narration was very honest, truthful and insightful. His voice was sonorous, statements rich in humor and warmth, and his attitude toward himself rather laid back. The photography and direction was of a high level with editing that kept the pacing alive and energized. Besides looking at the main subject, the film also revealed a candid slice of the film industry of the 50s-- qualities still with us in 2015 (the film's release year). Hunter had more of a varied career than one might normally think--he played a variety of parts (particularly some stark TV dramas) and kept a cool attitude throughout. The film also reveals the actor's relationship with his mother and his rich past time with horses. All in all, a very engaging biopic.
