Review of The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) by Bob S — 07 Sep 2008
Give Allen some props for creating a very sweet romance and giving us a feel for the magic movies brought to a country devastated by depression. I always enjoy an original story - until I saw this I thought Last Action Hero was original.
However, the movie really drags which is odd for a movie that doesn't even last 90 minutes. Farrow is a quiet type and Daniels doesn't have enough flair to captivate me at all.
