Off and Running
Off and Running is a 1991 American film starring singer and actress Cyndi Lauper as a mermaidthemed lounge singer who gets involved with a caring but troubled man. Because of his involvement with horse racing and breeding and consequent mafia ties, the man is murdered in front of her, and she goes on the lam to escape his killers. On the way, she takes on the company of a professional golfer and a rebellious preteen boy, and together they attempt to unravel the mystery behind her slain lovers past. The film was not widely distributed and coasted into notability mainly because of Laupers involvement. It is generally available on VHS for less than a dollar. The film fared far better in other countries where Laupers popularity has sustained. In Germany and Japan it was packaged as Moon Over Miami.
