Plots(1)
Producer Jerry Weintraub is a formidable storyteller, which is exactly the skill a successful salesman needs. “He’s going to sell you something and you’re going to buy it, and you’re going to be happy about it,“ is how Jerry’s brother describes it. In His Way, Weintraub “sells” us several of the best stories from his dishwashing career. With persistence and great powers of persuasion, Weintraub quickly went from small time salesman to the world’s biggest concert organiser, before turning his hand to the film business. Filmmaker Douglas McGrath doesn’t just rely on the producer’s aptitude for telling tales though, with anecdotes from numerous friends and relatives also contributing to the success of the film. His Way is the charming portrait of a Hollywood legend. (Zurich Film Festival)
