Full Plot Details

Eric Farr speaks to the camera as if speaking Rock Hudson's words from a posthumous diary. Film clips from more than 30 Hudson films illustrate ways in which his sexual orientation played out on screen. First we see tenuous and unresolved relationships with women, then clips of Rock with men, cruising and circling. Next comes pedagogical Eros: Hudson with older men. We see Rock with his sidekicks, often Tony Randall. We look in depth at comedies of sexual embarrassment and innuendo: films in which Hudson sometimes plays two characters, "macho Rock and homo Rock." He's masculine yet vulnerable, a hunk who needs taking care of. Last come cinematic reflections on death.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyA witty Godardian film-essay in which Hudson's films come under caustic scrutiny that dissects the latent contents of his screen persona--you'll never be able to look at Hudson's career the same way after this film.
Goatdog's Movies - 5/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.I didn't like the film, but it's one that I won't be able to stop thinking about.
User Review - 8/10 by Carreh RVery interesting use of film clips to argue that Rock Hudson was kind of telling us he was gay all along but no one was seeing it, well not really as there were suspicions about his sexuality even when I was growing up but no one knew for sure, It is possible that some of the clips were taken out of context but not all of them and the film plots of some films did play with Rock's character as being a straight man pretending to be gay etc (think Pillow Talk). In film studies we learn that all film interpretations are correct as long as one backs up their views with sound arguments. I think Mark Rappaport has done that. A lot of people gave this documentary bad reviews. Maybe they still can't stand that an icon of maleness was gay but having been around the gay community for many years I can attest that some gay men are the most macho around. Orientation has nothing to do with manliness contrary to popular opinion. People may be able to hang on to their cognitive dissonance by criticizing this film but they can't ignore how and why Rock Hudson died. No one can.
User Review - 8/10 by ld pIt was a one of a kind documentary. That guy posing as Rock Hudson was the gayest character I've seen, from the cheek to his mouth shape, he's just born to be!Funny & witty & gayest Ever!!Good job!
User Review - 6/10 by Dave SA neat trick, but pretty one-note and indifferently narrated.
User Review - 2/10 by Lee BThis sounded like a good concept and it was for about 5 minutes. This was low budget, which would have been fine if it had more substance. Instead, it was very much like a Mystery Science Theater 3000 effect. Now, it is fine to try and point out places in old movies where innuendo may be present, because that's the case with so many of them. But the narration just eats at all the points that were trying to be made. No need, you can pass on this one.
