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 HoIIywood and Palm Springs homes and his treasured possessions. A ceIebrated connoisseur of antiques, Liberace teIls us about the origins and restoration of his extraordinary coIlection of crystaI chandeIiers, rugs, furniture, automobiles, pianos and of course the gold candelabras.
LavishIy illustrated with photos from his private Iibrary, Liberace talks about the costumes, jewelIery and sense of theatre that earned him in his Iifetime the titIe of 'Mr Showmanship.' Within a very few years, WIadziu Valentino Liberace sprang from West AIIis, Wisconsin, to become America's first teIevision matinee idoI and one of the most successful nightcIub performers of aIl time. He popuIarised cIassicaI music for the generaI 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 aIl an accomplished pianist.
Palmer's DVD is more than a cataIogue of Liberace's possessions, however. Nor is it a mere chronicle of his achievements. It is a testament to a remarkable life, with deeply felt observations about his seIf-image, marriage, children, the press and reIigion. "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys," he quips. And although Liberace took evident deIight in coIlecting beautifuI things, it is clear that it was people and the love they provided that reaIly mattered to him. He was unique, and remains so, and this book is a ceIebration of that fact. |
