This is the first I have heard of the Nilsson film.Is it new? Since I am 
in Chicago.I hope there are plans to put it out on dvd.

***"Who is Harry Nilsson (and Why Is Everyone Talking About Him)" has 
been playing the festival circuit on the west coast for maybe a year and 
a half now.
It was done by David Leaf and John Scheinfeld, the same pair who did 
last fall's "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" and the Grammy-nominted 
"Beautiful Dreamer" about the "Smile" album. (Leaf also wrote the liner 
notes to the Pet Sounds box set.)
When the Nilsson doc screened in Santa Monica last year it was too a 
packed house.
I interviewed the filmmakers in September at the time of the Lennon 
film, and Scheinfeld said they hoped to piggyyback on the success of the 
Lennon doc to get some limited theatrical release for the Nilsson film. 
That didn't happen. So the only way to see the film right now is when it 
plays in festivals.
