This documentary captures the life story of legendary Hollywood producer and studio chief Robert Evans - the first actor to ever run a film studio. Robert Evans' film career started in 1956, poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel. His good looks, charm and overwhelming confidence captured the eye of screen legend Norma Shearer, who offered him a film role, After a glamorous but short-lived career as a movie star, Evans tried out producing.
At the age of 34, with no producing credits to his name, he landed a job as Chief of Production at Paramount Pictures. Evans ran the studio from 1966-1974. During his tenure, he was responsible for such revolutionary films as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Odd Couple, Harold and Maude, and Chinatown.
By the early 80s, the golden boy of Hollywood was losing his lustre. After a failed marriage to Ali MacGraw, a cocaine bust and rumoured involvement with the Cotton Club murder, he disappeared into near obscurity. Only through tremendous will and uncanny luck did he once again rise as the kid who stays in the picture.
