WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN' ABOUT HIM)?

(2006, 118 mins, LSL Productions, Directed by John Scheinfeld)

This new documentary by the team behind the award-winning Brian Wilson film “Beautiful Dreamer” and "The U.S. Vs. John Lennon" is a portrait of the enigmatic and beloved singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson - who the Beatles once proclaimed as their “favorite group.” (The “group” reference was tongue-in-cheek. The reverence for his talent was absolute.) The film traces Nilsson’s rise and his turbulent life – seen through the perspective of his many illustrious friends including John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Brian Wilson, Randy Newman and Richard Perry. Nilsson hits, unreleased recordings, home movies, archival footage and rare performance clips are combined to deftly answer the question posed in the title - with humor, heart and tender poignancy...

Discussion following with the filmmakers and several of Nilsson’s celebrated pals
Scheduled guests include: Danny Hutton • Micky Dolenz • Jimmy Webb
