Miscellaneous Notes
Aired in United States October 9, 1988
Began shooting August 18, 1988.

Original title: "Liberace: The Man Behind the Music."
Seymour Heller, special consultant on the project, was Liberace's personal manager for 40 years.
The telefilm is considered to be an "unauthorized" version of the life of Liberace, in contrast to the ABC telefilm on the entertainer's life, which was exclusively authorized by the Liberace Estate and the Liberace Revocable Trust.
