The movie is based on his autobiography, which came out in 2005.
Its the story of a gay man who was a movie star in the 1950s and 1960s. He made a lot of films, and became a pretty good actor. He was very attractive, movie-star looks.
Like most of that generation, he never came out of the closet during most of his life. The studios built him up as a heart throb - and part of the job was playing the role of a straight man always surrounded by beautiful women - in real life.
Of course the studios knew he was gay, but they worked very hard to keep that information private.
I found it to be a very interesting story, and also sad. He didn't get to live his own life until he got out of the spotlight.
