Tab Hunter Confidential (2015)

TAB HUNTER CONFIDENTIAL  (2015)  ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Jeffrey Schwartz
When I first heard there was a documentary coming out about Tab Hunter, my reaction was probably like a lot of other people. I didn't know the guy was still alive. Well, he is, and in this movie he narrates his own life story, a golden-boy movie star (and closeted homosexual)  who survived the Hollywood meat grinder and the total collapse of his career, staged a remarkable, unlikely comeback with the help of John Waters, and appears here in his mid-80s looking tan, fit and comfortably retired. Robert Wagner, Debbie Reynolds, Don Murray, George Takei and Clint Eastwood are among the witnesses, but the star of the piece is definitely Tab Hunter, candid, unpretentious and out of the closet, giving the performance of his life - as himself.
