He dazzled America for decades with his musical artistry. Now fans as well as those curious about this exciting entertainer’s unique appeal can relive the Liberace magic in his only starring film, Sincerely Yours. In a poignant story scripted by Irving Wallace, Liberace plays a concert pianist threatened by deafness. Plunged into despair, he finds escape from personal sorrow by secretly involving himself in the problems of strangers. Liberace touches the heart and delights the ear with sparkling renditions of 31 selections from Chopin to Chopsticks. Along the way he romances Joanne Dru and Dorothy Malone, trades barbs with old pro William Demarest and in a warmly humorous nightclub scene, pokes fun at his own image as the 1950s matinee idol of the little-old-lady set. From beginning to end, Sincerely Yours perfectly captures the charisma and sheer musicality of the legendary Mr. Showmanship.

Love & Mercy nam prinaša portret Briana Wilsona, enega izmed ustanovnih članov skupine z enakim imenom in človeka, ki je zaradi svoje ustvarjalnosti najzaslužnejši za izjemne glasbene dosežke skupine. Film nam predstavi ključni obdobji njegovega življenja. Del zgodbe se vrne v 60. leta, ko je Wilson zaradi napadov panike nehal hoditi na turnejo s skupino, se zaprl v studio in se posvetil pisanju glasbe. Brian je v tem izjemno plodnem obdobju ustvaril številne uspešnice in glasbeni izraz skupine kljub nasprotovanju nekaterih članov dvignil na višjo, bolj sofisticirano raven. Rezultat tega je album Pet Sounds iz leta 1966, s katerim se je skupina oddaljila od preprostega »surf rocka« in ustvarila enega od najpomembnejših albumov v zgodovini popularne glasbe. Drugo ključno obdobje Wilsonovega življenja so 80. leta, ko je Wilson psihično zlomljen, nestabilen, potrebuje spremstvo in pomoč svojega legalnega skrbnika, psihoterapevta Eugena Landyja.
