Just saw "The Kid Stays in the Picture" a bio pic about
Robert Evans, the movie producer that saved Paramount Studios from going under. I had no idea who he was before seeing the insane Comedy Central cartoon about him called
Kid Notorious, which I actually enjoyed (I was alone in that, apparently, as it was not continued). Evans' life is what Hollywood dreams are made of. The production values in "Kid Stays in the Picture" are very good - great use of old photographs and video mixed with computer wizardry to make the past come alive. Letting Evans himself do the talking was a perfect choice. Very entertaining, and I'm not into documentaries, believe me.
There's something about this guy, about the way he talks...he's completely sure of himself. No matter what he's saying, you know he means it, and it makes every word a source of power. No wonder he scored all those chicks....
