Christopher Tracy (Prince) works as a pianist in a bar in Nice with his best friend Tricky (Jerome Benton), but it turns out to be a lot more lucrative to hook a rich, beautiful young woman. Erfgename Mary Sharon (Kristin Scott Thomas) falls for his charms, but her father is less than charmed by Tracey.
Prince made a splash with Purple Rain. Shortly after followed Under the Cherry Moon, a film that was 'crowned' with five Golden Raspberries. But years later, Prince's screwball comedy with its love for jazz is more than worth rediscovering.
