About this product
Product Information
This documentary is all about Robert Evans who got his break portraying Irving Thalberg in THE MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES. Evans would eventually become the next Thalberg as Vice President in charge of production at Paramount. The studio was destitute and confused in a changing marketplace in the late 1960s. Evans would guide Paramount to the top again with bold choices and successful films such as ROSEMARY'S BABY, LOVE STORY, and THE GODFATHER. He married LOVE STORY's star Ali McGraw and branched out as a producer for Paramount with more successes like CHINATOWN. Eventually, the kid would crash land, mired in cocaine and murder scandals, producing bombs such as THE COTTON CLUB.<BR>This documentary begins quoting Evans, There are three sides to every story--mine, yours and the truth. The film is unquestionably from Evans' side, chronicling the rise and fall and subsequent resurrection of the playboy mogul of Hollywood's last golden era. Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen decided to film the highlights of Robert Evans' autobiography in the present tense with Evans himself narrating. A volatile, noirish prose is delivered from the producer who lampoons everyone from Mia Farrow to Paramount chief Charles Bludhorn. The visuals consist of highly manipulated photos, film clips, and original footage shot by John Bailey.Product Identifiers

ReviewsBoston Globe - Implicitly acknowledges and celebrates the glorious chicanery and self-delusion of this most American of businesses, and for that reason it may be the most oddly honest Hollywood document of all., Rolling Stone - ...It's great fun and compulsively watchable..., Los Angeles Times - ...Witty, colorful and poignant..., Sight and Sound - ...A guilty pleasure....One acidic drop of the Tinseltown tittle-tattle collated her could still trump the juiciest editions of today's puny celebrity rags..., Film Threat - I've already seen at least 20 documentaries this year. They've left me amused, sad, informed, bored, pi**ed-off, whatever. I'm willing to bet, though, that I don't see another this year as richly entertaining or as cathartic as THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE. Is it really that good? You better believe it., New York Times - ...One of the funniest, and most telling, films of the year..., Entertainment Weekly - A candy store for film buffs., USA Today - ...With a bounty of artfully integrated still photos, newsreels and color home movies..., Total Film - ...A gorgeous kaleidoscope of real footage, movie clips and animated photographs...
