Larry drives a cab in-between auditions, which essentially makes him a cab driver with acting aspirations. When one shot at stardom falls through because his producer promptly drops dead, Larry has a bit of apparent good fortune drop into his lap. A fare of dubious business affiliation accidentally leaves a stash of cash in his suitcase in the back of Larry's hack. Recognizing the brass ring when he sees it, Larry grabs the ill-gotten dough and takes off, quickly and disastrously followed by the Mob and the IRA. Chased to Dublin, Larry passes himself off as a nun or worse, all in order to evade his murderous pursuers. Fast-paced and funny, viewers should also enjoy Curry's interpretations of Mick Jagger and Elvis. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This one is about two men who produce porno films and are under investigation and before the movies end get busted/ It takes place during the Nixon Era, and its need to see the women walking around in the Hippy dresses. A few Sex scenes put nothing to XXX. This one was made for the NYC 42nd Street era when the x rated theaters were all that was in the area. The featured women are beautiful there is a scattering of skags though. 2 stars

A funny music comedy with Tim Curry, I liked it, and I'm glad I found the video. If you're a fan of his, you'll want to see this too.
