Allegedly, Behind the Candelabra will be director Steven Soderbergh’s final movie before he retires from the industry, a $5-million film that Hollywood studios wouldn’t finance, despite the participation of Oscar-winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, because it was thought to be “too gay.” The story of Liberace and his five-year relationship with boytoy chauffeur Scott Thorson also stars Dan Aykroyd, Rob Lowe, and Debbie Reynolds. Finally, at long last, it will air on HBO Sunday, May 26, at 9PM.
