Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Richard Day based the studio executive on real 1950s fixers who arranged 'lavender marriages' for stars like Rock Hudson.
The film directly references the Hays Code's 'moral clauses' that destroyed queer actors' careers while profiting from their closeted labor.
