The only time Robert Evans, Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier shared a room—and someone filmed it.
Producer Robert Evans dominates with his trademark promotional style, but Schlesinger gets a short time on camera (one of his few available interviews about the film), and Hoffman has even more. A highlight is the celebration of Olivier's final shooting day, complete with speeches and a toast.
Acting
Olivier's final day speech will wreck you.
Production
Evans somehow makes a toast feel like a movie trailer.
Direction
Schlesinger's rare interview footage is gold.

Allan Garden
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This short was produced as a promo piece for 'Marathon Man' but barely screened publicly, making it a genuine lost treasure.
Robert Evans was at peak 'Kid Stays in the Picture' power here—this captures the last gasp of 1970s producer-as-rock-star culture.
