Stephen King wrote of the film: "Who Is Harry Nilsson is some piece of work, an exploration of the dark side of success that’s hard to watch, and even harder to forget."

David Leaf and John Scheinfeld interviewed close to three dozen of Nilsson's friends, colleagues and extended family, who all shared their memories of Harry Nilsson, his music and how it affected them.

He approaches old family nemesis Dr Van Helsing (Dennis Price), who agrees to enable the Count's transformation, much to the dismay of the residents of the Netherworld.

Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like The Beach Boys, The Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and The Monkees. Listening to rock and roll on jukeboxes and car radios created devoted fans of these groups, whose music communicated the optimism and sorrow of a generation contending with strong countercultural forces.

Le 3 juillet 1973, au Hammersmith Odeon de Londres. Dans les loges, David Bowie se métamorphose une dernière fois en Ziggy Stardust, ange sexy, androgyne futuriste, diva kitsch dont les jambes nues font grimper les jeunes filles (et les autres) au rideau. Sur scène, la star la plus glam enchaîne ses standards : "Space Oddity", "Suffragette City", "Rock'n'roll Suicide"… Il changera trois fois de parure au cours de la soirée, son guitariste Mick Ronson (avec qui il mimera quelques scènes de luttes sado-maso) maintenant la salle à température ambiante pendant que l'artiste disparaît en coulisses.
