The Candy Butcher is an old fashioned term for the guy with a basket full of candy, fruits, magazines, and newspapers he sells walking through your train to make your journey more enjoyable. Frank Ray Perilli's first job was as a Candy Butcher, and his show biz career began in his teens as a nightclub comedian and film actor, and continued through Hollywood as a screenwriter and film producer. Almost all of his offbeat Felliniesque films cross the threshold of bizarre and are richly flavored with comedy: "The Doberman Gang," "Little Cigars," "The Other Cinderella," "Adult Fairy Tales," "Dracula's Dog," "The End of the World," "Laserblast," "Alligator," "Invasion of the Star Creatures," but to name a few. Even his more serious films, such as "Harlow," and his plays, such as "Stompin' at he Oval Office," touch upon aspects of history uncharted by others. With a weird offbeat perspective, Frank Ray Perilli enriches our journey through life with the sweetness of comedy and the challenge of thinking outside the box.
