If its the ones I think it is, it shows why Prince should never have been given the directors camera! But its still rare gold. Haven't seen it is years. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Just watched it.

Ugh.

THIS could have stayed in the vault!

Eventually every cloud runs out of rain.

haha he obviously loved films and i bet would've loved to have written/directed/produced if he hadn't been discouraged by UTCM. I wish he would've kept working on short films, gotten better and pursued directing again later in life.

It's circulating since the 90ies and isn't "rare" at all.

LOL I Love it

I like it better than Graffiti Bridge.

Dr Finks mother, John L Nelson, Jill Jones(her acting was good in this) Cat

Madhouse as a side project had a lot of potential.

This looks like a movie my friends and I would make just goofing around with a camera.

They must have had lots of "free time" to hang out and do weird stuff like this.

I'm sure most of it was just for fun and never intended for serious review.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

ugh... cannot be unseen.

Prince had some serious misogyny issues..

but God bless Jill Jones. She seemed always was up for whatever. LOL.

I hadn't seen this for years!

In the days before 1TB external drives, and cloud storage, I'd burned it to a CD-ROM and lost it.

It's like an early John Waters movie - but unfunny. Haha!

I wonder how many other short films he made?
