The Kid Stays in the Picture

from Film Forum, 08/01/02

Robert Evans's documentary The Kid Stays in the Pictureexplores his own successes and failures as a Hollywood producer. (Evans produced such classics as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, and Chinatown.) Evans's affairs—business and romantic—are detailed along with the scandal in which it was alleged that he was involved in the "Cotton Club" murder.

Phil Boatwright calls it an "incisive and involving look at the behind the scenes lifestyle of one of Tinseltown's most colorful players. But check out the content before deciding to attend." He cautions potential viewers about foul language, brief violent images, and sensual imagery.
