HBO PREMIERES BEHIND THE CANDELABRA Miami, FL – October 7, 2013 – HBO Latin America will premiere the original drama from HBO Films, Behind the Candelabra, on October 12th in the Caribbean. Oscar® winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon star in the film, which won eleven Emmy® Awards this year. It tells the story of show-biz icon Liberace’s tumultuous relationship with his young lover Scott Thorson, from their first meeting to their bitter breakup five years later. The drama recreates the glittering and private world of Liberace (Michael Douglas), the flamboyant, phenomenally successful entertainer whose extravagant costumes, trademark candelabra, and elaborate stage shows made him the most bankable entertainer of his time. The story focuses on Liberace’s tempestuous relationship with Scott Thorson (Matt Damon) in Las Vegas from 1977 to 1982 – a time when Liberace was at the peak of his popularity but kept secret that he was gay. Featuring a pair of electrifying performances by Douglas and Damon, Behind the Candelabracaptures the essence of Liberace’s appeal while reminding viewers of the different outlook of that time, when few high-profile entertainers could admit to the public that they were gay. Liberace was the highest-paid entertainer in the world from the 1950s through 1970s, with his concerts, records, movies, TV shows and endorsements spawning a huge, primarily female fan base. Having sued and won a settlement against a London newspaper for insinuating he was gay in the 1950s, Liberace maintained the illusion of heterosexuality through the 1980s, and his life with Thorson (whose book this film is based on) remained behind the scenes. The cast of the film also includes Dan Aykroyd (Seymour), Scott Bakula (Bob), Rob Lowe (Dr. Startz), Tom Papa (Ray), Paul Reiser (Mr. Felder), Bruce Ramsay (Carlucci), Nicky Katt (Mr. Y), Cheyenne Jackson (Billy), Boyd Holbrook (Cary) and Debbie Reynolds (Frances Liberace). Behind the Candelabra was directed by Steven Soderbergh; screenplay by Richard LaGravenese; based on the book by Posted on 2013/10/07 on hbomaxlapress.com HBO PREMIERES BEHIND THE CANDELABRA Scott Thorson with Alex Thorleifson; executive produced by Jerry Weintraub; and produced by Gregory Jacobs, Susan Ekins and Michael Polaire.

The Rise of Controversial Content in Film
The Climb of Controversial Film Content by Ashley Haygood Submitted to the Department of Communication Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication at Liberty University May 2007 Film Content ii Abstract This study looks at the change in controversial content in films during the 20th century. Original films made prior to 1968 and their remakes produced after were compared in the content areas of profanity, nudity, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, and violence. The advent of television, post-war effects and a proposed “Hollywood elite” are discussed as possible causes for the increase in controversial content. Commentary from industry professionals on the change in content is presented, along with an overview of American culture and the history of the film industry. Key words: film content, controversial content, film history, Hollywood, film industry, film remakes i. Film Content iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support during the last three years.
