Prince is in it as The Kid... an aspiring singer in a club with other singers like his rival in the movie, Morris (Morris Day and the Time)
he meets a girl Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero), losing her to Morris, his self-destructive behaviour mirroring his father's, and coming to grips with everything else...
pretty lousy acting, but the music in there is amazing... great songs like When Doves Cry, Take Me With You, and the title track, Purple Rain done live..
the music holds the whole movie together...
