Great film - and why is Michael Douglas not mentioned prominently in the credits?

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2013)

Who decides what actors are credited with "Stars"? I'm appalled to see Michael Douglas' name mentioned 7th down the list - he plays the leading role, for goodness sake - and very well at that!
I didn't know whether I would enjoy this film but was pleasantly surprised. Given the subject matter, the film was honest without being smutty and was an unbiased and balanced portrayal of the characters.
I remember reading about Scott in the '80s and much of the press painted him as being quite greedy and nasty. This film shows that life with the super rich and glamorous is not all one imagines it to be and that there is a down side to everything. It left me feeling sympathy towards Liberace and Scott - and yes, I shed a tear at the end.
