Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? is a 1971 American comedy-drama film directed by Ulu Grosbard and starring Dustin Hoffman. It portrays a single day in the life of Georgie Soloway, played by Hoffman. Its narrative is stream of consciousness filled with both comedy and drama. Plot Georgie Soloway (Dustin Hoffman) is a rock music composer who experiences personal conflicts when trying to track down a man named Harry Kellerman, who had been spreading outrageous lies about him. Soloway is a rich and successful man, who lives in a fancy penthouse apartment and seemingly has everything, but he is beginning to think he is losing his mind; he cannot sleep, women he has dated are rejecting him after getting calls from the mysterious "Harry", and he fantasizes about committing suicide by leaping off his balcony. Regular visits to his psychiatrist are not helping. At night, he struggles with insomnia and can only sleep when his long-suffering accountant comes over and reads his earnings statements to him. When he does sleep, he dreams again about jumping to his death. As Georgie tries to make sense of his life, he thinks back on his experiences. Although Georgie is a love song writer, he has never had a successful, lasting relationship. His first love, Ruthie, broke up with him after he got her pregnant and she had to have an abortion. He later met a kind waitress named Gloria whom he also got pregnant; he married Gloria and they had two children, but then he cheated on her and she asked for a divorce. More recently, he met an aging actress named Allison (Barbara Harris), who had just miserably failed an audition for a rock musical. Allison turned out to have a lot in common with him, including a failed marriage and thoughts of suicide. When he learns it is her birthday, he takes her for a ride in his private plane and they spend one romantic evening together. Georgie visits his aging father, who runs a small restaurant and has always had a dream of opening a bigger place. Georgie asks him why he does not move elsewhere and open the large restaurant of his dreams with the checks Georgie has sent him, instead of always sending back the checks. His father explains that he is starting to suffer the effects of arteriosclerosis and
