I was thrilled by this great documentary chronicling the story of the bigger-than-life producer Robert Evans. Great pacing and some clever photo effects illustrate how Evans life was just as intriguing as most of the movies he'd produced (not the Godfather but certainly Popeye). And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger in his story? Goddamn right they do, right up until the very end. I mean how many people break up Frank Sinatra's marriage, fire Francis Ford Coppola from the Godfather AND lose their wife to Steve McQueen all in one life time, let alone within a five year span? Only one man. Bobby Evans. Can the story get any better? I wouldn't be writing this if it didn't. With Evans himself narrating, along with some juicy photos and a great soundtrack, this documentary is gold. And the archive footage is straight from Evans' personal stash. Was it worth it? You bet your sweet cheeks it was.
