Three Businessmen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three Businessmen is a film made in 1998. It is a British-Dutch-Spanish-Japanese coproduction directed by Alex Cox. The screenplay is by Tod Davies, who was also the producer.
It is the story of three businessmen, Benny (Miguel Sandoval), Leroy (Robert Wisdom), and Frank (Alex Cox) who - during the course of a whirlwind trip around the planet in search of food - discover that they are present at the birth of the new, female messiah... and promptly forget again.
The film premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 1999. Like most of Cox's later films, it received a limited theatrical release. The author/producer was Tod Davies, with whom Cox also collaborated on the scripts of Backtrack/Catchfire (Dennis Hopper, 1989) and Keith Moon was here (unproduced screenplay for Roger Daltrey, 2001).
The score by Dan Wool and Pray for Rain features Deborah Harry singing a techno version "Ghost Riders in the Sky".
