Product Description
He won Grammys® and an Academy Award®; wrote many #1 songs; starred in a Brian DePalma movie; put out his own hit records and albums; was a guest on The Tonight Show fifty times; and is the president of ASCAP... and you might not have heard of him. In the 1970's, Paul Williams was the singer / actor / songwriter that emotional, alienated teenage boys all over the world wanted to be, a sex symbol before MTV, when sex symbols could be 5'2" and sing songs about loneliness with the Muppets.

I watched this today. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood (it's been a frustrating week) but I was a bit disappointed. Too much intrusion by the filmmaker, and some weird editing choices (for instance, at one point we get a montage of Johnny Carson introductions when I would rather have seen more of Williams' actual appearances on the show.) Mind you, I didn't hate the movie, I just didn't love it as much as I was hoping. If you were ever a fan it's still worth seeing, and I'm delighted that Williams has kicked his addictions and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
