Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh and starring Oscar-winning actors Michael Douglas and Matt Damon as the flamboyant showman and his companion and chauffeur Scott Thorson, respectively, the film explores the pair's tempestuous and secretive five-year affair. Production designer Howard Cummings\u2014this marks his fifth collaboration with Soderbergh\u2014and set decorator Barbara Munch Cameron (Glee) had only six weeks to design and decorate 30 glitz-and-glam-rich sets that included Liberace's self-described \"palatial kitsch\" mansion in Las Vegas, a penthouse pied-\u00E0-terre in Los Angeles, and a Spanish-style 1920s retreat in Palm Springs known both as the Cloisters and Casa de Liberace. Behind the Candelabra airs May 26 on HBO.\n\nFor a tour of Liberace's larger-than-life world in Behind the Candelabra, click here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
