Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer
 |
| |||||
| An in-depth look at the rise and fall of Governor Eliot Spitzer, once nicknamed “The Sheriff of Wall Street” by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney. | ||||||
| While serving as NY’s Attorney General, Spitzer “took no prisoners” as he tangled with prosecuted some of the most powerful Wall St. executives in the country. After his election as Governor, with the largest margin in the state’s history, he seemed White House-bound. Then, shockingly, Spitzer – the paragon of proper – was caught with prostitutes. Interviewing friends, colleagues, enemies, Albany powers like Joe Bruno, and employees of the Emperor’s Club, including “Angelina”, the film explores and reveals the hidden contours of this tale of power, sex, and hubris. And it makes one wonder about a deeper connection between the fall of a Governor and the free fall of the economy. | ||||||
