Bagdad Cafe on DVD

Two things I love in film and literature: Deserts and diners.

This film has both and are both so integral to the story.

CCH Pounder and Marianne Sagebrecht give wonderful performances. Quirky and fun, it's also a film of liberation, community, and female friendship.

"Calling You" by Jevetta Steele is the film's dreamy ballad that plays throughout the film and always feels like a seductive beckoning when it's heard.

You can usually find this one on free streaming platforms like Tubi.
