The Hard Life (A Short Film made by Prince in 1987)

I heard that Prince made a short film in 1987 entitled, 'The Hard Life'. Is this true??

What was the storyline about? Who was in the cast? Why was it never released?

It is BAD...and not even bad enough to be entertaining -- it's just boring. If you want to see it out of curiosity, then by all means find someone who has a copy so you don't have to spend any money on it.

Film school is over-rated anyway. They just teach u how to b pretentious and take any love out of you that u might have had for your chosen discipline.

Ummm, the reason why it wasn't released is that it sucks. Give Prince a break on this one. If he wanted you to see it he would have released it. To bitch about the quality of something he didn't want you to see originally is pretty lame.

On the other hand, it is understandable why it was never put out.
