The story of Robert Evans and his rise and fall as the uber-producer of Paramount studios plays like a cracking Hollywood Noir. Evans' gravel-voiced narration is full of humour, regret, and pathos. A failed actor himself, this maybe his finest performance as he plays multiple parts with such verve that the graphics of the major players of the time; Polanski, Coppolla and Ali Macgraw, fly off of the screen.
