Opened in movie theaters 29 years ago today:
PURPLE RAIN (Prince, Appolloia Kotero; directed by Albert Magnoli)
Review: “Prince is no actor; he tends to mumble. But he can kiss a beautiful woman onscreen without looking like a geek, and not every guy can do that. The real film talent here, though, is Morris Day, who plays the Kid’s funkster rival on the Minneapolis club scene.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Quote: “Let me give you a piece of advice, junior: your music make sense to no one–but yourself.”
Trivia: Excluding Prince and his on-screen parents, almost every character in the movie is named after the actor who plays him or her. —imdb.com
