Not so. "Mack the Knife" was a separate venture to "The Threepenny Opera".
"Mack" was made for theatrical release in about 1989 whereas "Threepenny" was (I
think) made for TV a few years earlier. The documentary (which I DID tape)
gives a brief rundown on Roger's career with the Who et al and then focuses on
his role in "The Threepenny Opera".
Other RD acting projects which I don't think have been mentioned are a film
called "Cold Justice" where he stars with (I think) Dennis Waterman. I've never
seen this, just noticed a poster in the local video shop some years back. He
also did a 3 minute show called "Mini Sagas" where he plays a hitman - worth
seeing if you get the chance.
Oh, and I think the title of the film "Murder" which someone mentioned is
"Murder - Grounds for Divorce". I saw this in a shop once but haven't seen it
since - it had Toyah Wilcox in it if my memory serves me correct.

Denis.
