The Agony and Ecstasy of Phil Spector (2008)

"The Agony and Ecstasy of Phil Spector" is a 2008 Documentary movie directed by Vikram Jayanti and starring by Phil Spector, Lana Clarkson. Phil Spector is a pioneer of American music, a legendary producer to John Lennon and Tina Turner, and, as of April 13th 2009, a convicted murderer. Yet the Spector who appears in Vikram Jayanti's documentary is not the severe, outlandishly coiffed defendant seen in sensationalistic accounts of his trial, but a charming, savvy music executive with a generous, but arguably accurate, estimation of his place in the history of popular music.
