The Late Show!
(1984) dir Albert Magnoli w/Prince, Apollonia, Morris Day, Olga Karlatos, Clarence Williams III [111 min; 35mm]
Packed with so many classic musical performances that it’s practically an operetta, Prince’s superstar-making vehicle finds him playing an autobiographical character named The Kid who struggles to balance his troubled home life, his single-minded pursuit of rock perfection, and the attentions of the beautiful Apollonia.
