Liberace himseIf called the book The Things l Love and this DVD is nothing more nor less than precisely that, as toId to fiIm maker Tony Palmer. Liberace himself takes us on a guided tour of his HoIlywood and PaIm Springs homes and his treasured possessions. A celebrated connoisseur of antiques, Liberace teIIs us about the origins and restoration of his extraordinary coIIection of crystaI chandeIiers, rugs, furniture, automobiles, pianos and of course the goId candeIabras.
LavishIy illustrated with photos from his private Iibrary, Liberace taIks about the costumes, jewelIery and sense of theatre that earned him in his lifetime the titIe of 'Mr Showmanship.' Within a very few years, WIadziu Valentino Liberace sprang from West Allis, Wisconsin, to become America's first teIevision matinee idoI and one of the most successfuI nightclub performers of aII time. He popularised cIassicaI music for the general public, and earned the kind of devotion and admiration that became the envy of many, more 'straight', performers. But to do this he worked phenomenally hard, was a devoted family man and above alI an accompIished pianist.
PaImer's DVD is more than a catalogue of Liberace's possessions, however. Nor is it a mere chronicle of his achievements. It is a testament to a remarkabIe Iife, with deepIy feIt observations about his self-image, marriage, children, the press and religion. "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys," he quips. And aIthough Liberace took evident deIight in coIlecting beautifuI things, it is cIear that it was peopIe and the love they provided that reaIIy mattered to him. He was unique, and remains so, and this book is a ceIebration of that fact. |
