Georgan G @RT98616417 Jul 28, 2023 Love the lesbian, gay & bisexual history in this documentary! Anyone who doesn't believe this story is very, very sheltered & conservative. I have no problem believing, being an elderly bisexual woman. See more Kevin L @Lakeman Aug 9, 2021 Interesting stuff. I do hope we're well past much of this hiding bs now. And those broads on the view have little or no idea about bupkus. Scotty seems like a helluva guy, in the sense of a fascinating person who's lived a fascinating, though also quite sad/tragic, life. But also in the sense of him being a wonderfully sweet person. I didn't feel anything untoward or overly inappropriate was revealed in the movie. And besides, as he tells the one man who challenged him on the idea of 'outing' people in the book for being gay, "What's wrong with being gay?". Not my thing, but if it's yours, it's yours, and knock yourself out. 3 stars See more Jul 15, 2020 so child sex abuse is OK, Scottie? I mean, what's OK for him ("baby"!) logically he finds fine for others. So if he didn't "procure" such--and my guess is he'd never turn down his $20 pimp money so will assume he did-- he at least never reported it & looked the other way. That's just a rational conclusion. As for the stars, so he's LOYAL to them during their lives (where the reality is likely it's only because they would sue his a@# for libel) but throws them under the bus when dead. No one has any right to out anyone else, that is THEIR life. Dead people have living family now too, so no thought about them, either. Yes, this is national enquirer x-rated version. About as trashy & unethical as it comes. Who can trust him as a source anyhow, this addled-brain filthy, hedonist? Mostly just sad, sad, sad! See more May 27, 2020 Haphazard documentary, but salacious fun. See more s r @ScottR Nov 5, 2019 It shattered some illusions I had of Hollywood stars. I was mostly bothered by the disgusting habits of the main character, but at least he owned it. See more dave d @RT34924333 Oct 21, 2019 'Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood' is a feature documentary mostly about the fascinating Scotty Bowers. Who was that? A sex facilitator to the stars. It's impossible to put Bowers into a box, which is ironic. This is based on his memoirs which came out a few years prior. The hoarding comes out of nowhere and doesn't really connect, but ok. Getting a full picture of a complex person in many ways is hard and it's particularly well executed by documentarian Matt Tyrnauer. Final Score: 7.7/10 See more Read all reviews
