A portrait of Stanley Baxter, Scotland’s most dazzling TV star of the 1970s and ’80s, whose groundbreaking sketches and lavish specials made him a household name. Behind the fame, Baxter lived a hidden double life as a gay man in a hostile era, balancing public brilliance with private secrecy. Made shortly before his death, the film draws on personal archives and recordings to reveal the man behind the legend.
