Bob Evans starts off the movie by saying there are three sides to every story "My Side, Your Side, and The Truth" and how accurate he is.
Granted, a good deal of this movie is Evans' self-flattering version of his rise and fall in Hollywood, but damn, it's entertaining. He is a fantastic raconteur, and five minutes into the movie, it didn't matter to me whether he was lying or telling the truth.
He touches on some landmark films in his career, like Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, Bonnie and Clyde, and of course, The Godfather.
Most of the film uses stills, but they do so in a unique way, that never takes you out of the flow of the story. Once you walk out of the theatre, you'll run right out and buy the book on tape (Evans narrates it himself, and it is what is excepted for the film)
Pretty good execution of a usually dry format (documentary)
