In 2012, Scotty Bowers finally spilled his secrets in the New York Times best-selling memoir ‘Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars’, which revealed a dramatic, pre-Stonewall alternate history of Hollywood. While the studio PR machines were promoting their stars as wholesome and monogamous, Bowers was fulfilling the true desires of many of them. This cinéma-vérité documentary by director Matt Tyrnauer (Valentino: The Last Emperor) tells his story, as well as presenting eye-opening takes on icons from the Hollywood Golden Age including Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner and many more.

Reviews

A resonant and funny portrait of a large-than-life character... captivating. Tyrnauer captures this figure with empathy, humor, and as much fascination as we too possess watching.
