Connected to

Steven Soderbergh: 2 lines people ×2

people (directed by / HBO): Behind the Candelabra → Steven Soderbergh. It aired as an HBO movie before Soderbergh made HBO movies full time.
“this was an HBO movie before that was his full-time job.”
The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 0:48:07 · Sean Fennessey (0.90 sure it was them)

Captain America: The First Avenger: 1 line craft ×1

craft (craft): Captain America: The First Avenger → Behind the Candelabra. Erskine walking in on the unmasked Red Skull... actually Toby Jones's Zola reaction, as when Matt Damon walks in on Liberace without his toupee.
“this feels like the scene in, uh, behind the candelabra where Matt Damon walks in on Liberace without his toupee.”
Blank Check — Patreon · Captain America: The First Avenger · 0:36:53 · David Sims (0.35 sure it was them)

Elvis: 1 line unmapped ×1

unmapped (wished-for complement): Elvis → Behind the Candelabra. Sean wished Elvis had more Fat Elvis; Behind the Candelabra is one long stretch of that excessive late period.
“I wish there was a little bit more Fat Elvis in the film Elvis.”
The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 0:47:24 · Sean Fennessey (0.90 sure it was them)

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: 1 line contrast ×1

contrast (tone contrast): Behind the Candelabra → Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Behind the Candelabra is very comic but not parody, unlike Walk Hard.
“It's not parody. It's not comedy, even though it is very comic.”
