Armistead Maupin Is a Man I Dreamt Up

9.019931hDocumentary

Director: Kate Meynell
Year: 1993

An affectionate portrait of San Francisco, and of the man whose Tales of the City have inspired thousands to go there. Maupin relates a life story more bizarre than his fictional characters(including a meeting with Nixon), while local eccentrics and ex-colleagues dish and praise lavishly.
