I love Tim curry however
Now I know who should have played Freddie Mercury long before it was done.
I doubt that Tim Curry would have been willing to accept the part as he was a friend of the "Queen" leading singer, having met him after Mercury saw him on stage. However, I've never not seen Curry on stage or screen and not instantly thought of the wonderful performer of "We Are the Champions" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". In this wild caper comedy, Curry plays a wannabe entertainer (a superb mimic) forced to work as a cab driver, entertaining his clients with his imitations, and making a rash decision of riding off with a brief case filled with cash, getting into all sorts of trouble.
The whole film revolves around Curry's wacky behavior, featuring Debbie Bishop as his girlfriend and character actor George Irving as the man out to get the money back for a political uprising. There's a fabulous costume party wher everyone comes dressed as 30's movie characters, with Curry and Bishop a dashing Fred and Ginger, making their entrance to "Putting on My Top Hat". Curry's charm helps this rise above the deficiencies, a far cry from his smirking villains in "Annie" and "Home Alone 2", and perhaps closer to his role as Mozart on stage, with a bit of Franknfurter coming from his flamboyance.
Should you watch this? (1 Spoiler)
Boringly = yes. I'm afraid to disappoint you with yet another fan of this movie. But the answer is yes, you should watch it.. Because, well, its rather good! On a personal note it was one of the rare movies that my father and i both enjoyed watching very much. Possibly as we're Irish, I dunno. He's passed on now but, as a quote I heard him laugh at when watching this film would be from
Tim Curry: "If he dies.. ... I'll bleedin' kill him!" -
But you'll have to watch it to get the humor. You'll know what i'm saying when/if you do... ;¬)
So Yes .. watch it. I liked the charm and feel to the movie. Acting was extremely good. Characters charming. And I guess yes, musically it is pretty flawless - The songs = class. And what makes them more personal is the charm that is generated by the actors and actresses who give an honest, realistic performance offset by a creative/humorous/charming performance from Tim Curry. Who manages the job effortlessly. Didn't know it was for T.V. originally.
Know its very hard to get though. My Pops tried for ages...
On that note has anyone seen Darby O'Gill and the Little people - another one of his faves. heh heh.
Okay... so I.d give it an 8.4. And I'm personally very glad I could comment on this movie - So thanks IMDb. - great site.
