One of the high points of Woody Allen's career. Cecilia (Mia Farrow), a depression-era waitress married to a brutish husband (Danny Aiello), finds her only escape at the movies, her current favorite being a light comedy about an explorer among socialites, called The Purple Rose of Cairo. She sees it so many times that the main character, Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), falls in love with her and steps off the screen to woo her. When news of this gets back to the movie studio, the producers send the actor who played Baxter (also Daniels) to convince Baxter to get back on the screen. The script is one of Allen's funniest, but underlying the whole story is a current of sadness that gives the movie's ending a surprising impact. Allen himself considers The Purple Rose of Cairo to be his personal favorite of his own films. A gem. --Bret Fetzer

You have to wonder about some artists. Stephen Sondheim considers "Someone In a Tree" from Pacific Overtures to be the best song he ever wrote. Every Sondheim fan I tell that to looks at me with a befuddled expression.
And Woody considers this one-joke (or I should say one-premise, because it's not really funny) movie to be "his best," or at least among his best three. (Depends when you ask him.) I saw The Purple Rose of Cairo when it came out in 1985 and I was just out of high school. ... Read More

Not quite a great film, per se, but still just about perfect movie.
A square-jawed explorer in a 1930s studio comedy becomes smitten with a woman in the audience and magically steps off the screen to meet her. This sparks problems for the other characters, for the theater owner and his patrons, for the up-and-coming actor who plays him and, most of all, for the object of his affections -- a bullied and beaten-down naif who uses the movies to escape both of her depressions.

This was a unique storyline - a character comes right out of the movie screen to join the "real" world - at the time. I've seen several others copy this sort of thing since, although it also was done in some silent comedies, too, if memory serves.
Nonetheless, it was done well here and I got a kick out of watching it back in the '80s as part of a good fantasy, romance, drama and comedy film by Woody Allen, who made this movie but is not on screen.
Jeff Daniels does a terrific job ... Read More

If there is one Woody Allen film that I think anyone can enjoy, it is `The Purple Rose of Cairo' (although `Hannah and Her Sisters' is quite universal too). There is something about the way that Mia Farrow's character Cecilia connects so well with the average human being, and the way that her love affair with screen character Tom Baxter feels so genuine even when it is impossible. I just can't help but feel this wonderful feeling of closure every time I watch this movie (which has only been a few times since ... Read More

The original movie is very good. Unfortunately, MGM cares so little for consumers that they didn't provide any extras and left me with tape residue that made the box too sticky to put on the shelf.
