Simply Fascinating
23 May 2003
What an incredible story this man's life is it should be a movie. And here we are with "The Kid Stays in the Picture". A documentary, but not of the Discovery Channel type (not that there's anything wrong with those). This documentary with its moving photographs, hip soundtrack, and kinetic pacing, will absolutely suck you in. The rise and fall and ultimate redemption of Hollywood Producer Robert Evans is simply fascinating. And the fact that he narrates his own story makes his tales even that much more rich. The highlight for me: hearing how Robert Towne's script for "Chinatown" was absolute Chinese. It made no sense to anyone who read it.
