The Purple Rose Of Cairo

We haven't covered the controversial Woody Allen since we reviewed Annie Hall 5 years ago, but The Purple Rose Of Cairo has just gotta be seen and discussed. It’s one of the man’s best efforts. We spent 5 or 6 minutes near the top jawing about his very tainted legacy in this Next 192 Project, but the majority of the show gets into the bittersweet delights in the 35-year-old flick. Mia Farrow and Jeff Daniels are tremendous in this fantastical love story where a movie character steps off the screen and romances a lonely lady. It’s delicious escapism and a very funny way to kill some virus time, so get started hearing us break it down for you. Well, Actually: Back To The Future was indeed on AFI’s Top 100 Genres list, but it was in the Sci-Fi category, not the Fantasy category. Also, it’s in Stardust Memories where aliens say they prefer Woody Allen’s “early, funny” films. Sparkplug Coffee continues to ship the good stuff even during the pandemic.
