In fact, the whole reason that BLUE IN THE FACE was made was that the directors and the cast found that they had an extra week on their hands, so hey, they decided to make a fast, improvisational movie with the same sets and some of the same cast. BLUE IN THE FACE is a series of vignettes. The writing is credited to the directors, but it feels like the actors were winging it most of the time.
Wheat germ is in.
There is also attempted infidelity and robbery, but most of all, it is just a bunch of good friends of all ethnic groups standing around and gabbing about life. Auggie takes the bag from the woman and gives it to the kid and tells him to beat it. She is nonplused. The movie is a series of crazy incidents like that. Intertwined with the regular movie, there are two different series of interviews, documentary style.
