Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed

Stephen Kijak

Among the most iconic Hollywood men of the 1950s and 1960s, Rock Hudson embodied masculinity and straightness until his diagnosis and death from AIDS in 1985 shattered the hall-of-mirrors of his life. This intimate portrait tells the story of Hudson as a man who lived a double life, revealing the man behind the myth—while his public persona was meticulously curated by his handlers, controlled by the studio system and falsely anchored by a lavender marriage, Hudson had to keep his homosexuality behind closed doors—through archival footage and testimonies from some of his closest friends.
