The Kid Stays in the Picture is a pretty wonderful documentary, and makes excellent use of Evans’ voice and personal charisma.
The legendary producer behind many of your favorite ’70s and ’80s movies, and a key Paramount Pictures executive during the “New Hollywood” era, was 89 years old.
Evans narrated the film of his own life, which was compiled out of extensive archival photographs and videos.
Dustin Hoffman, for example, modeled his spin doctor character from Wag the Dog on Evans, who he knew from Marathon Man and other films.
