It was a musical/movie that P was doing the songs for at one stage. For one reason or another, it didn't come together. I believe the movie was released but without P's contributions.....most of which ended up on that dire compilation of random stuff "The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale" that WB released in the late 90's. |

Yes, someone that also thinks that the Vault is, for lack of better words, CRAP the abuse i have got over saying that has been nothing short of a beating, so i simply dont mention the Vault anymore  If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

The movie was released and starred Nick Nolte: http://imdb.com/title/tt0110097/
Boris or Langebleu or someone else probably could give a better answer, but IIRC, the movie was originally slated to be a musical and Prince wrote the music for it. The actors in the movie weren't exactly up to the task of singing (I think Julie Kavner, who also voices Marge Simpson, was especially egregious). Also, the songs Prince did were not that great (Be My Mirror is pretty horrible, for example). So the director redid the movie without the music. The movie didn't do well. | |

"I'll Do Anything" starring Nick Nolte and Whittni Wright was originally going to be a musical. Prince wrote most (but not all) of the musical numbers for it, and the movie was filmed and cut together, music and all. However, it really didn't do well at the test screenings, so the producers decided to cut out all the songs and just release it as a regular movie. It still didn't do that well though. The Prince songs originally included in the movie were... Wow Make Believe I'll Do Anything Don't Talk 2 Strangers My Little Pill There Is Lonely I Can't Love U Anymore Be My Mirror other songs recorded for the project were... The Rest Of My Life Poor Little Bastard Empty Room . [Edited 12/8/07 20:34pm] | |

I believe a couple Sinead O'Conner tracks were also used....i think they should finally release the director's cut of this film...you have Woody Allen's "Everyone Say's I Love You", Dancer In The Dark and John Turturro's new film Romance & Cigarettes getting raves for non-singers performances...I am sure today's audience would be more accepting of this type of film.

I agree, it would be nice to see it in it's original form.
Plus, I have to say that I think Sinead's song "This Lonely Life" is the highlight of all the I'll Do Anything tracks (sorry Prince!) | |

None. I seem to clearly remember one number left in, when the little girl sings a song to her mom with the portable stereo. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid
