Blue Money (1985)

Rocky Horror Show icon Tim Curry stars as a loveable aspiring actor/singer who finds himself tangling with gangsters in this witty and hugely entertaining television film from noted playwright Stewart Parker. Featuring a memorably charismatic turn from Billy Connolly as a demented Scotsman, Blue Money also stars Frances Tomelty, Dermot Crowley and Widows star Debby Bishop. Vocal impressionist Larry Gormley barely makes ends meet as a mini-cab driver while waiting for his big break. When a dubious regular fare leaves a briefcase full of hot money in the back of his cab, Larry soon finds himself on the run from the Mob, the police, and Des a psychopathic Glaswegian hitch-hiker!
