CGiii Comment
They couldn't even decide on a title...
Legendary stage director, Prince - he only made 3 films, this being his first.
Some have hailed this as a worthwhile curiosity - it is curious...as for being worthwhile....only to see how Prince could not direct actors without the song and dance.
