Stolen from The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer (1947).

I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen that - I'll check it out.

For a movie that was made way back in 1983 it holds up very well. The soundtrack isn't dated (Tangerine Dream did it) and it stars a quite young Susan Sarandon. Bowie doesn't have much screen time and he's hidden behind alot of makeup effects after his initial scenes but he's good when he's there. I may have to pull out the dvd and do a re-watch!!

too bad it wasnt made like the book....although still good

Prince would've been an amazing silent movie actor. The guy had facial expressions and body movement down to an art.



Too bad modern movies require nuance and exceptional storytelling. Those were his biggest flaws.


I've always wondered what would've happened if Prince took the role in The Fifth Element that was written for him. I'd guess he would use the leverage to make another studio movie instead of becoming a character actor.

Surely you have seen "The One" video. If not, go ... now ...

I liked the part in UTCM where he's on the phone with Mary Sharon's pops and he's acting British. I felt like that was good acting on his part.
