The KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE follows the illustrious life of Robert  Evans - from clothing designer (Evan-Picone) to Actor (The Sun Also  Rises, The Best Of Everything) to Paramount Executive (overseeing such  blockbusters as Rosemary’s Baby, Love Story and The Godfather), to  Producer (Marathon Man, Chinatown), to his downward descent into cocaine  addiction, paired with a rumored involvement in the “Cotton Club” murder  and ending with his triumphant return in the 90’s producing such movies as  The Two Jakes, Sliver, The Phantom, and The Saint.

 

Film Composer Jeff Danna painstakingly researched music of various time periods to create a score that would incorporate the eras of Robert Evans’ personal journey.  Danna also arranged a version of Irving Berlin’s classic “What Will I Do” a song that Evans feels exemplifies his life.  The score reflects the emotional temperature from Vaudeville and 50’s to contemporary orchestral and Tarantella.  Danna explains the scoring process, “There were unconventional scenes of which the music needed to reflect the subject matter.  For example, Evans being arrested set up a mood that was easier to translate to score than Evans acquiring the film rights to the novel The Detective.”  Evans himself described the score as “Marvelous.”
