Product Description
Video Details
Robert Evans became head of production at a major Hollywood studio at age 24. Took a studio from worst to first. And brought to the screen a phenomenal string of hits that includes Chinatown and The Godfather. He lived fast. Lived large. Lost it all. Then rose to prominence again. And now the inside-Hollywood story is revealed by ROBERT EVANS in this dazzling show-all movie that's narrated by Evans in his inimitable showman's style!

Evans comes out hitting a homerun,
By Michael Bolts (superior, wiusa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kid Stays in the Picture (VHS Tape)
Robert Evans was behind a bunch of hollywood masterpieces such as Chinatown, The Marathon Man, Rosemary's Baby and The Godfather (just to name a few) and why he was involved with Popeye I have no clue. He must of been looney. Evans had a wife and child but he was divorced. He did drugs, got into the wrong things, lots of sex and he payed the price for the after math. He was friends with some of the greatest actors, directors and actresses of our time: Jack Nicholson, Mia Farrow, Roman Polanski, James Cagney, Dustin Hoffman and many more I honestly thought this was a good documentary about life in the hollywood eye. My favorite part is during the credits when Dustin Hoffman does the impersonation of Evans, that's a classic right there. If your interested, watch it and if your not, watch it once and then dont.

The Stuff Dreams are Made Of,
By
This review is from: The Kid Stays in the Picture (DVD)
Hollywood is a place of fantasy, a composite of all our American dreams. Sure, I read Schulberg's, What Makes Sammy Run. That one covered the first golden age of American Film. The second golden age happened because a young Jewish businessman from New York ran into silent film legend Norma Shearer at a Beverley Hills hotel, and then was propelled into acting. He played the Spanish matador in The Sun Also Rises, a film based on Ernest Hemingway's book. This led to a minor film career that went poof in the fifties, so the young man bought rights to a few novels for peanuts: you know, The Godfather, Love Story, Marathon Man, and Serpico. The next thing he knew, he was running Paramount Pictures and dating every beautiful woman in California. He also discovered cocaine in the 80's and at the same time, a distant association with a murdered producer tarnished his image, so that he couldn't work in this town again. Then he got his job back and made more pictures. This all happened to Robert Evans. The 1994 documentary is really a home movie with Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson, ex-wife, Allie McGraw, and a supporting cast of thousands. I wonder what he's doing now?

Great doc. Totally worth owning,
By
This review is from: The Kid Stays in the Picture (DVD)
Producer legend Robert Evans is the subject for and narrator in this wonderful documentary of the classic "rise and fall" variety. This is just a really vibrant and dynamic film, and really seemingly raises the bar for biography documentaries. Evans himself narrating is funny and self-recriminating about his past, and by the film's end, one really feels to have a better understanding of the time period as well as Bob Evans himself. The way the film plays with moving around still photos kinda spells out the entry of the flash/photoshop generation into film, and this is not such a bad thing, at least in this genre. Film fans will adore this, everyone else will really enjoy it. The extras feature some of Bob's acceptance speeches upon receiving lifetime achievement awards from various sources, and are well worth a look.
