I remember watching Liberace on Merv Griffin in the '70s and thinking, "What is this nonsense?" But today I'd be quite amused and therefore am rather interested to see Douglas' portrayal, even though I'm sure the movie will be somewhat dark.
TRIVIA 1: Liberace played the "evil pianist" villain Chandell on Batman. His episodes were the highest rated of the series.
TRIVIA 2: In a letter to a critic who derided his ostentatious style, he coined the now-famous phrase, "I cried all the way to the bank."
