film-makers versus the manipulations films have suffered from the origins of the cinema to the total domination of the audiovisual world. "Filmmakers vs. Tycoons" combines different types of film language: archive material, key fragments of films, and fictional scenes, such as that set in the Court of Felipe II when the Monarch cuts down a cinemascope picture by Titian on both sides because it doesn't fit into the space he had kept for it in El Escorial. The King of Spain thus became the inventor of panning-scanning which, in our time, alters the original format of films. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

This documentary captures the life story of legendary Hollywood producer and studio chief Robert Evans. The first actor to ever to 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 luster. After a failed marriage to Ali MacGraw, a cocaine bust and rumored 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. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
