'Color Me Kubrick' is one wild ride!
The name Stanley Kubrick is the stuff of film legend. Not only is he considered one of the most creative and influential filmmakers of all time, but there are countless wild stories about what went on behind the scenes of his movies. Everyone knows about the multiple takes that ran into the hundreds, his supposedly bullish attitude with his actors, and how his final movie might have led to his death.
What Did Stanley Kubrick Think of Alan Conway's Con? But what of the real Kubrick in all this hubbub? Conway’s scam skated by on two factors: the unquestioning awe of star-struck acquaintances and the director's lack of social presence. Although Kubrick shunned public attention, he was still alive and well, and surrounded by a professional network. According to Frewin, Kubrick was made aware of the whole Conway con when Warner Bros.
The last ten minutes or so of Color Me Kubrick works very well and ends on a decent note, it’s just that the bulk of the movie fails to live up to its potential. A key problem is a lack of progression or momentum. Until the finale, the action doesn’t really feel like it’s building to a spectacular fall. There is no sense of things starting small and snowballing — it’s just 75 minutes of Conway pulling a fast one on a variety of ambitious men and then moving on to the next.
