I ran across this just recently as I've been listening to a lot of Kid Creole and the Coconuts music this past month -- what a treat! It's a movie version of the concept of their 3 albums from the early 80's (Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places, Wise Guy/Tropical Gangsters, and Doppelganger) and it's a delightful trip.
August Darnell is actually a fairly fine actor considering his lack of professional training - but then again, he acts this role of Kid Creole to perfection on stage so there was really no stretch for him to carry it into a cinematic role.
If you are a fan of the early 80's and especially if you are a Karen Black fan - you will enjoy this film as much as I did.
