Description: Documentary on the life of the film producer behind "The Godfather" and some other megahits of the late 60's and early 70's.
Appraisal: There was clearly a lot of work behind this film, which contains an enormous amount of images of the periods it addresses. The quick succession of those images keeps the viewer away from the usual boredom that is associated to documentaries. The question that kept coming to my head, though, was, why should we care about this guy in the first place? I don't know the answer to that question. When you think about it, this film doesn't stray too far in essence from the gossip magazines and TV shows that are featured in it. I have nothing against this kind of thing in principle, but it has limited interest.
