Liberace

Liberace: the pioneering performer, the dolled-up Vegas Diva, the personification of "camp". He was "Mr. Showmanship", the first to flirt with TV cameras and still the best paid pianist of all times, an idol for generations. It was inevitable that he would eventually lose touch with reality. Liberace cast himself adrift in his own fantasy worlds that he lapped up in private in a perverse, even excessive manner. A classically and perfectly executed BBC biopic about the man with the candelabra and two stars on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame".
