CONTENT WARNING:

In 1950’s Hollywood, movie star Guy Stone must marry a studio secretary in order to conceal his homosexuality. Sally has no idea her marriage is a sham, though, and turns Guy’s life upside-down. However, soon after the wedding, Guy develops feelings for a writer named Rick.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

This deliciously campy comedy tells the story of a 1950s Hollywood movie star who marries a studio secretary in order to conceal his homosexuality. With more than a nod to the life of Rock Hudson.
