I just drove though the Southwest U.S.A. For the first time a few weeks back and it was a highlight of my two week roadtrip! http://www.newberrysprings.com/bagdadcafe/bagdadcafe.html I'll have a page on it soon on my website devoted to the cafe. The site of a cult landmark German film of the same name but also called Out of Rosenheim 1988. http://us.imdb.com/Title?0095801 The location itself was a star of the film. As was the music score. I shot two rolls there of Neopan 1600 with my Noctilux and 24. Also 50 sumicron with green filter. The film was a turning point in the Career of Jack Palance who got back on the A list after making this film. We came upon it by pure accident. Nothing to do with Bagdad or the Babylonians from what i could tell by the way. But it's a mecca for many film buffs.
