Despite what they say about that Herzog documentary on Freddie Starr.
Didn't the young Bobby Davro have a cameo in Manon De Sources? No, wait a minute, he didn't.

Just occured to me, I don't recall seeing a single black actor in a Peter Greenaway movie - Jim must have felt right at home despite the gobbledegook being spouted by all and sundry.

I'm reminded also of Duncan Norvelle's searing portrayal of a drug addled homosexual drifter in Pier Pasolini's Accatone. How this man was reduced to to 'chasing' people round Light Entertainment studios in the 80s is beyond me....
