Evita

Evita is a 1996 American biographical musical drama film based on the 1978 stage musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, which itself originated as a 1976 concept album. Directed by Alan Parker from a screenplay he co-wrote with Oliver Stone, the film depicts the life of Argentine actress-turned-politician Eva Perón, detailing her beginnings, rise to power, and untimely death. It stars Madonna in the title role, with Jonathan Pryce as her husband Juan Perón and Antonio Banderas as Ché, an everyman who serves as the film's narrator. A film adaptation of the musical languished in development for over fifteen years, as rights passed on to several major studios, and various directors and actors considered.
