Part of the Limelight series

Description

In the summer of 1984 a small low-budget film came out of nowhere and unexpectedly debuted at the number one slot at the box office unseating reigning champion EGhostbustersE and making its star Prince a household name.

By the end of the year the film was a multiple-award winner a trend setter in terms of fashion and recognized on many prominent critical top ten lists.

EPurple Rain: Music on FilmE explores in detail the behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs of the film's making from the trouble casting a female lead to star opposite Prince to concerns that the movie's urban vibe and sound wouldn't play in Peoria.

Featuring extensive new interviews with the film's director producer and assistant editor EPurple RainE reveals a 1980s cult-classic as you've never seen heard or experienced it before.

Let's go crazy...
