Four exceedingly fey Nazi spies (one is played by Lance Loud of TV’s An American Family, for crying out loud!) land in New York City in 1942. They originally intend to plant bombs and disrupt national morale, but quickly lose interest and become submerged in the city’s hedonistic nightlife. This Super 8 underground feature boasts elaborate costuming, art direction and vintage music soundtrack, but the real reason to grab this up is for KLAUS NOMI! Yes friends, the New Wave Kabuki opera singer from outer space plays a supporting role as a German counteragent! He sings the Marlene Dietrich standard “Falling In Love Again” once in tuxedo and then in drag! The rest of the cast and crew are comprised of many familiar names from New York’s “No Wave” performance art gang of the period, such as Ann Magnuson, Kristian Hoffman, Mary Astor, and many more. An absolute must-have for fans and followers of this phase of American pop culture!
