Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talking About Him)?



I'll be the first to admit that I used to lock myself in my room and contemplate suicide when my Mom played "A Little Touch Of Schmilsson in the Night." I hated that record with the fury of a thousand burning suns. It wasn't until I became a bona fide old dusty nut bastard myself that I realized how amazing Harry was as a singer/songwriter. This film is a heart wrenching piece that explores the life and music of the enigmatic Nilsson, from his early recordings to his dark days carousing in LA with John Lennon. Fascinating stuff.
