Blue Money

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

Larry Gormley.......his accent isnt it i mean its good..cant say it isnt acurate...but.......no no thankyou and his american accent UUUUGGHHHHGHGH NO ABSOLUTLEY NOT Tim curry i love you but it wasnt it and i didnt finish it due to me finding it boring but i will not and never deney your talent and singing in this movie never fails to amaze me especilly hit the road jack LOVE voice of an angel i have a hard time remembering the names but larrys familiy? I have some serious questons dose he actually like them? Clearly not his wife leaves me confused and his moral compass is very odd to say the lease but to each there own Mr Larry Gormley.

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.

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.
