Blue Money

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.

Although it might seem a little dated now, its worth watching for Tim Curry performing Billie Holiday and Ray Charles.

Tim Curry is in his element with this little film. He is in his homeland playing an affable character who happens to be quite the ambitious showman. The Mick Jagger impression remains etched in my mind but that was just one.

This is almost like a musical in the Indie film class and I consider this more of an Independent film than a TV movie. It looks more like a low budget indie film that was sold to the networks instead of theater distributors. It is a shame that it fell through the cracks of time because of this. It is shot like early Peter Jackson movies were. Many close ups. Many short sharp scenes.

The plot is pretty good. Larry, a cabbie who dreams of being in show business ends up with a quarter million pounds sitting in his cab and decides to go on the run with it. Simple but it gets complicated enough to be entertaining. Curry has alot of great scenes. Worth searching out.

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.

Without a doubt this movie captures it all, Tim Curry is excellent as usual even though his Irish accent is probably the worst i have heard it just seems to fit anyway.

His mannerisms and facial expressions make you laugh out loud. i just love the way this film was put together and am so surprised that it has not been shown more, this is one of those golden films that will someday be shown to a generation of new young watchers who will give it a cult status.

Bravo to all involved and my hat is off to Tim Curry for his great talent. Thank You.
