In the process they launching the careers of James Dean, Robert Duvall, Warren Beatty, Gene Hackman, Glenn Close, John Travolta, Jeff Bridges, Bette Midler and countless other iconic actors. In this illuminating documentary, directors and actors including Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Diane Lane, Jon Voight, Bette Midler and John Travolta share stories and memories from their early careers, all interwoven with rarely seen clips as well as scenes from classics like The Sting, Goodfellas, Annie Hall, The Great Escape and West Side Story.

Голливуд знает имена легендарных кастинг-директоров, которые буквально зажигали звезды и заставляли их гореть ослепительным светом. Об этих тайных мастерах экрана и их знаменитых подопечных — этот фильм.

Davi's Way summary, synopsis, reviews
Davi's WayMusic Documentaries2018

Davi’s Way follows New York-born and renowned character actor Robert Davi, a Frank Sinatra song stylist, as he attempts to plan a tribute performance to his singing idol, a re-creation of The Chairman’s famous “Main Event” held in 1974 at Madison Square Garden. With the help of his friend, producer Danny A. Abeckaser, and a hired assistant, actor Stevie Guttman, the documentary depicts Davi on a year-long mission. It does not go as smoothly as envisioned. Through comedic interactions too engaging not to have been documented, viewers see an engaging, driven, sensitive and intriguing side to Robert Davi, which is what prompted Abeckaser to create the film. He was won over by Davi’s charm, and wants the world to be as well.
