    • 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.

    intricate, substantive
    Saw this film at the Berkshire FF and can't wait to see it again in Provincetown, MA. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Glaser received standing "O" at the end of the film and at their appearance for the Q and A's. For all of the intricacies of storytelling (it covers Hollywood history, Tab's personal history and struggles and the resolution he has come to) the film flows seamlessly. It is fascinatingly illustrated with studio stills, film clips, interviews and personal snapshots. Tab narrates the film, and his "concentration" as he looks at us is mesmerizing. He has shared incredible insights with his audience about his fame, his loves, his family....occasionally with a delightful, self-deprecating twinkle. Profoundly, however, it is his success as a human being that will touch us most.
