    • Trivia
      A reporter mentions that Tab Hunter's popularity was with the so-called "baby boomers"; however, the term refers to children born post war, including myself born in 1947 which would have made me nine years old at the height of his popularity. Actually, his fans were the post-depression/war babies who would have been teenagers in the middle 1950's. Baby-boomers are 1946-1964 born, and they absolutely were a part of his fandom.

    Even if you aren't a fan, it's well worth seeing.
    I must say up front that I am not particularly a fan of Tab Hunter's films. I've seen a few and must admit he is a very beautiful man but I've never been a fan. Additionally, I am not gay. But despite both of these things, I do recommend you watch this biography as it's entertaining and well worth your time...so keep this in mind when you consider watching this film which recently debuted on Netflix.

    The film is quite simply the story of actor Tab Hunter's life. It follows his journey as an actor as well as a religious man struggling with being gay. Along the way, you learn that there is much more to him than being a homosexual...and he has what appears to be a happy and full life. Overall, very entertaining and a film that will leave you liking and appreciating this artist much, much more. Very well made and compelling viewing.
