    A wildly entertaining, star-studded documentary about The Beatles's favorite American musician, WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN' ABOUT HIM)? is a vibrant and definitive portrait of one of the most talented singer-songwriters in pop music history. The film combines compelling interviews with Nilsson's family, friends and colleagues -- including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Robin Williams, Micky Dolenz and Yoko Ono -- with rare and never-before-seen archival footage, home movies, and excerpts from a recently discovered oral autobiography. The film delves deeply into Nilsson's artistic process, his spirited relationship with John Lennon, and the additions that haunted him in and outside the studio -- as well as the peace he found as a devoted husband and father.
