Blue Money

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.

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.

I have seen this film once and thought it was brilliant i would like to see it again but have no idea where to obtain it.i have told friends about it and they tell me they would, the acting is very good and Tim curry plays a brilliant part its also funny.I have not seen any other films with Tim Curry in so i cannot compare it with any of is other films,therefore if there is any Tim Curry fans out there this is a film for you,it will keep you in your seat from start to finish with a lot of action and a lot of laughs. I do not watch a lot of television so i may have put it on by chance i am very pleased i did.Because this film kept me in my seat,the main part of the film i can remember is Tim Curry as a taxi driver i am now a taxi driver myself and often think of this film while i am taxi driving.

I am shocked at how underrated this film is. It is fantastic! It has a good plot, a funny script, nice camera-work that reminds me of shows like the Sweeney and fine direction. The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant, especially Blue Money, Hit The Road Jack and Love Me Tender. In fact all the songs are superb, but these are the ones that stand out. One of my favourite scenes was the audition scene, and I loved the line "if he dies I'll bleeding kill him!" But what makes the film so hugely enjoyable is the performance of Tim Curry; here he acts, sings, dances and does impressions and he does the whole lot to perfection. Is there anything he cannot do? Seemingly not, it just makes you wonder why such a talented actor like Tim hasn't got the respect he so rightly deserves. Also, although he sang superbly in Rocky Horror Picture Show, and we all know that Tim has an amazing voice, this is the best I've heard him sing. As for Larry Gormley himself, you cannot help love him, he is naughty, yet so lovable, handsome and charming. Debby Bishop is just great as Pam, and she too has a marvellous and overlooked voice. If you love Tim Curry, like I do, then this is a wonderful musical treat for you. 10/10 Bethany Cox
