I only have a very small role in the film, but I do get to sing my own composition, Whispering Love, in the London pub run by the movie’s ruthless villain, Deacon Bradshaw, who is played by Peter Ferdinando. |

Apart from Sam Rockwell and Peter Ferdinando, the film’s other principal cast members are: Phoebe Fox, Ben Schwartz, Amanda Donohoe, Frances Barber and Simon Callow. For my short plot synopsis of the film, see right. |

Blue Iguana, Short Plot Synopsis |
|
|
|
Ex-jailbirds Eddie (Sam Rockwell) and Paul (Ben Schwartz) are on parole and working as counter-hands in a New York diner. Eddie is quiet, calm, stoical and confident. Paul is loud-mouthed, impulsive, emotional and obsessed with movies. |
|
|
|
They're best buddies and a team, but their lives are a dead end. That is, until bookworm English lawyer Katherine Rookwood (Phoebe Fox) walks into the diner with an offer they can't refuse. |
|
|
|
Her plan takes them to London. The prize they seek is a fabulous gem called the Blue Iguana. The man who stands in their way is a psychotic small-time crime boss, mullet-haired Deacon Bradshaw (Peter Ferdinando). And, along with all the black comic blood-letting, gunplay and danger, the unexpected consequence of their quest is True Love. |
|
|
|
Cool charisma, comic book romance, pop art style and culture-clashing laughs: Blue Iguana is a smart, funny love story with guns…and mullets. |
