Notes: A feature length film made by Apple starring Harry Nilsson and Ringo. Basically a so-so "horror musical" featuring a soundtrack of Nilsson songs.
This has never been released officially in any format bar a short run at a theatre in Atlanta in 1974 (where it premiered) and a few select places in the UK and Europe in the same year.
It`s not too bad a movie actually with a half decent B grade script and acting.
Harry Nilsson is quite good as "Count Downe" and of course the musical numbers are superb and even Ringo puts in his usual "reading it off a cue card" performance.
It could have been worse.
