Bagdad Cafe (also known as Out of Rosenheim) is director Percy Adlon's first English-language film, a character study of a small desert Quirky Town, Bagdad, and its residents, which is loosely based on Carson McCuller’s novella "The Ballad of the Sad Café".Their lives are turned upside down when a large Bavarian hausfrau Jasmin Münchgstettner (Marianne Sägebrecht) checks herself into the local truckstop motel/cafe, Bagdad Cafe, after having an argument with her husband. The owner, Brenda (C.C.H. Pounder), is immediately suspicious of the strange foreign woman. In spite of her mistrust, Jasmin begins to win over everyone in town — but then has to return to Bavaria thanks to an expiring visa. Former set painter Rudi Cox (Jack Palance) finds himself intrigued by her.The film earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, the haunting "Calling You". In 1990, a television Spinoff starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jean Stapleton was based on the film and lasted two seasons.

Not Distracted by the Sexy: When Jasmin finally exposes her breast to Rudi while he's doing her portrait, she murmurs "My vision". Rudi turns to her to respond, sees her nakedness and registers it, he looks away and replies, "I like that word. Vision." Note it doesn't mean he's not attracted or appreciative — he's busy painting, and seems to not want to overreact.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The film's Magic Realism gives the events of the film the ethereal feel of a Fairy Tale. When Jasmin makes a rose appear in her hand, there's no way she could have possibly used sleight of hand (since she's topless.) The thermos never seems to run out of coffee. (The German posters for the film gave it the Tag Line of "a Modern Fairy Tale".)
