From Anne Thompson:

Alex Gibney’s hugely entertaining Eliot Spitzer doc, Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer, is a leading contender for this year’s doc Oscar. The movie is full of surprises. In my flip cam interview with Gibney (below) he explains how the story he tells turned out far different from what he thought it would be, and why Wall Street Masters of the Universe were so eager to go on camera to chortle over Spitzer’s dramatic comedown: “They wanted to stamp on Spitzer’s grave,” Gibney admits. ‘It’s not stretching the truth to say they hated this man.”
