This one is only interesting because right of the bat it shows what I believe was the ORIGINAL Bagdad Cafe IN Bagdad, CA. Turn off the sound, or you will have to listen to this interminable song again!:

AND if you still can take it, here is extensive coverage of the interior with another interminable media phenomenon, Huell Houser, leaving us with more gosh/golly surface scratching, yet a complete lack of information as to the anything that happened in that burg pre-87. :) :

What an irony to think that there is a whole fan community (for the movie) out there to whom the building has become an icon, yet they have no clue to its true origins. And that I, because I have painstakingly avoided this film, only stumble on it now, when otherwise this charming little A-frame would have aroused my curiosity much earlier. Just goes to show that the true Tiki archeologist should fear no hardship and trials --even if it means having to watch a German art film!
