About The Orkly Kid
Larry (Crispin Glover) organizes a talent show in an attempt to get on TV but the small town of Orkly, Idaho, isn't ready for his Olivia Newton-John impersonation.
Directed by Trent Harris, The Orkly Kid leans on a strong ensemble — Crispin Glover, John Bluto, E. G. Daily — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1985.
