Robert Evan's criticisms of Coppola's first cut of The Godfather applies to this documentary. "A long, bad trailer for a really good film."
Robert Evans who went from women's clothing to being a bit part bad actor to the legendary head of Paramount Pictures.
In his watch they went from being bottom of the big studios to number one. Paramount came out with classics such as The Love Story, Godfather 1 & 2, Chinatown, The Conversation, Serpico.
He dated beautiful women, he was married to Ali McGraw and he had a wonderful mansion. He still kept the mansion at the end courtesy of Jack Nicholson's generosity.
Yet I wanted to know more about those 5 glory years with Paramount and it all became skimpy. Some of the films were not even discussed.
It was like ok Robert, we have done with the good times, now let's move on to the cocaine addiction and the flop movies. Popeye barely got a mention concentrating instead on The Cotton Club.
A sketchy look back at a fascinating man, it was Evan's version of the truth. You had to concentrate hard as his narration was hard to decipher. Maybe a consequence of hard living.
