Reviews

Dalbert Pringle Are you seriously looking for the ultimate, Hollywood-celebrity "Coming Out" documentary? Well - Believe me when I tell ya - "Tab Hunter: Confidential" is a true-life, tell-all tale that's not likely to disappoint.Born Arthur Andrew Kelm in New York City (1931) - Tab Hunter (with his boyish good looks and sweet-as-apple-pie smile) was an almost immediate "heart-throb" sensation when (in 1950) he was first cast as Frank O'Brien in "The Lawless".Through 100s of stills, excellent archival footage, and interviews, not only with Tab, himself (84 at the time), but also with those who worked around him, as well - This slick, informative, and very entertaining bio-documentary (impressively directed by Jeffrey Schwarz) is, without question, a sure-fire winner - Indeed - No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

MartinHafer I must say up front that I am not particularly a fan of Tab Hunter's films. I've seen a few and must admit he is a very beautiful man but I've never been a fan. Additionally, I am not gay. But despite both of these things, I do recommend you watch this biography as it's entertaining and well worth your time...so keep this in mind when you consider watching this film which recently debuted on Netflix.The film is quite simply the story of actor Tab Hunter's life. It follows his journey as an actor as well as a religious man struggling with being gay. Along the way, you learn that there is much more to him than being a homosexual...and he has what appears to be a happy and full life. Overall, very entertaining and a film that will leave you liking and appreciating this artist much, much more. Very well made and compelling viewing.

maryjengland A fascinating look at a Hollywood that no longer exists through the eyes of one of it's biggest stars. For those who have only heard the name Tab Hunter and know nothing of his career you're in for a treat. Tab shares a sincere, open and honest look at his life from the heights of stardom to the darkest days of loosing a beloved brother, mother and a career.This film weaves through the life and times of a celebrity you truly like getting to know. With candor and grace Tab generously shares with us his most meaningful relationships and how they impacted not only his private, but his very public life and career.Tab, with great humility takes us on journey through an extraordinary life that very few have or ever will experience. It was a pleasure getting to know him. Bittersweet and unexpectedly emotional on so many levels.

donna-191-140428 Caught the London screening. The place was packed, not an empty seat in the house, and Mr. Hunter received a thunderous well-deserved standing ovation. This is one of the best celebrity biography docs for a long time, and will bring to a new, younger audience the reality of how the old Hollywood studio system manipulated its stars for their own corporate gain. In Tab Hunter Confidential, Mr. Hunter narrates, sharing his insightful and honest view of the Hollywood star-making system of the 50s and his personal rise, success, frustration and fall at Warner Brothers Studios. With self-deprecating humor and warmth, Mr. Hunter reflects on the policies, plans and politics of the studio which dictated how to live in and survive the public life of a movie star, generating popularity and the adoration of his fans. He combines this with honest reflections of his closeted life as a gay man when the word gay did not even exist at the time. Mr. Hunter's frank and authentic portrait of his loves, his family and his faith are complicated, moving and intelligently presented. Kudos to getting this fascinating autobiography onto the screen with taste and elegance.
