his way

this film is a documentary about the hollywood legend jerry weintraub.  'who is that?' you might ask, well thats a good question.  i didnt know who it was either until i saw this movie!  it seems that he is a very highly regarded hollywood mogal, meaning that he was someone who worked behind the scenes making things happen.  the film go back to his early life when he was a boy and first learned to get things done by taking after his salesman father.  from there it talks about his role in managing a tour for elvis and finding great success, working with frank sinatra and a bunch of others to great success, and eventually setting his sights on movie making.  he would sweet talk his way to millions, creating his own quarter billion dollar empire.  though there were some rises and falls along the way, the film creates a loving portrait into the life and mindset of this entertainment icon.  i learned a lot about him and really enjoyed to interesting story and the great anecdotes about what life was like for him through the years.
