  Sidney Franklin (1903-76) was the last person you'd expect to become a bullfighter. The streetwise son of a Russian Jewish cop, Sidney had an all-American boyhood in early twentieth-century Brooklyn - while hiding the fact that he was gay. This is the story of an unlikely hero - a gay man in the most masculine of worlds who triumphed over prejudice and adversity.
