在这部亚米斯德的未叙故事纪录片片中,在《Looking》、《Sex and the City》、《Queer As Folks》等电视片集成为今日同志的潮流经典之前，《Tales Of the City》是一代同志片集的开路先驱。发生在三藩市的故事，发扬了挛直共融的精神，是同志流行文化的重要宝藏。片集改编自著名同志作家 Armistead Maupin 的同名小说，而这出纪录片就将 Armistead Maupin 的生平和创作生涯以轻松幽默的手法娓娓道出。伊恩麦基伦、罗娜莲妮助阵参与，分享鲜为人知的惹笑趣事。
THE UNTOLD TALES OF ARMISTEAD MAUPIN examines the life and work of one of the world's most beloved storytellers, following his evolution from a conservative son of the Old South into a gay rights pioneer whose novels have inspired millions to claim their own truth. Jennifer Kroot's documentary about the creator of TALES OF THE CITY moves nimbly between playful and poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. With help from his friends (including Neil Gaiman, Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis, Sir Ian McKellen and Amy Tan) Maupin offers a disarmingly frank look at the journey that took him from the jungles of Vietnam to the bathhouses of 70's San Francisco to the front line of the American culture war.
