Oh sweet Golan and Globus!!
Tonight I was watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America. It's an episode from October 2007 and Gordon is saving a Brighton UK restaurant from ruin. The place is owned by a former actor named Allan Love and it's called 'Love's Fish Restaurant'.
I look on imdb and I almost flipped out to see in Love's sparce 80s/90s film credits is listed "The Apple".
OMG! It's him! He's 27 years older and pudgy but that smile is unmistakable. Allan Love was not only one the leads, but he sang the title song! He played "Dandi"- one of the corrupting forces at Mr. Boogaloo's International Music (the "BIM") that leads an innocent singing duo from Moose Jaw, Canadian obscurity to fame, drugs, and sex parties...and over-the-top musical numbers.
The Apple is a 1980 film spectacle (set in the distant future of 1994!) that makes Xanadu look coherent.
Thanks Chef Ramsay for dishing up a great plate of nostalgia for me.
