Strangers in Paradise (1984 film)

Strangers in Paradise is a 1984 American comedic science fiction musical film[3] co-written, directed by, and starring Ulli Lommel.[4] Its plot follows mesmerist Jonathan Sage, a Adol Hitler-lookalike who survives Nazi Germany by being cryogenically preserved, only to be thawed by fascist Americans who attempt to use him to rid their community of homosexuals, free-thinkers, and other "radicals". The film was co-written by Lommel's wife, Suzanna Love, who also appears in the film as a punk singer.
