    Tim Curry showcase

    This funny crime caper drama deserves wider airing. The made-for-British-television drama showcases the best of Tim Curry's mercurial talents, combining humour, parody, music and acting to create a delightful entertainment as a singing cabbie. Mr Curry has not always been a "comedy hood/villain" parody of himself as he appears in his more recent cameo performances (i.e. dating from Home Alone 2). Many fans of the Rocky Horror Picture Show will delight in seeing the Curry charm work in a smaller scale, more subtle music-focused piece of theatre.

    This is one of Tim Curry's best roles. He sings and dances!

    This is a great MUSICAL comedy. Why do they have it as a crime film for genre??? If you spend the time to get a used copy of this you will be glad you did (if you're a Tim Curry fan). He sings, dances, and does impressions. This is a Tim Curry fan pleaser.

    Great Fun

    They sure don't make TV movies like this anymore. You don't know how funny and talented Tim Curry is until you see this movie. There's action, comedy, great music, and one hell of a funny cast. BLUE MONEY was fantastic. Tim Curry as the charming & funny Larry and Debby Bishop as the sweet and lovable girlfriend, Pam. Tim Curry does everything from singing to doing impressions. I loved this movie, and luckily was able to find a copy on Amazon. I recently dug it out and enjoyed it again. It is a shame they don't make great movies like this for TV anymore. If you haven't seen this movie, check it out. You won't regret it. It's a Tim Curry fan must-see. It gets funnier every time I see it.

    Fun & Charming

    This is a truly great and fun movie. I found an old copy of it in my local video store, and rented it twice!! Thanks to a fellow Tim Curry fan, I now own a copy as broadcast on the CBC network.

    I'm a huge Tim Curry fan, and I love all his work. But.. I will admit that this movie is hands down the best work he's done. "Rocky Horror" was great, yes. But "Blue Money" shows off his versatility much more. I laughed, I drooled at Tim's beauty, and had a ton of fun.

    We see Tim singing, dancing, doing impressions, dressing in drag (once again!), and he finally doesn't play a bad guy. Larry's no angel, but you'll love him anyway.

    If you see this for rent, or in a bargain bin at a flea market or video store...BUY IT!! You'll never regret it, and own a fun movie too.
