The movie was released in black-and-white and was filmed on location in Nice, France. The film attempts to combine different styles and themes, including a musical, romantic comedy and drama. Poor acting and direction resulted in a odd mixture of the 3 that ultimately fails to succeed. The result is unintentially comical scenes mixed with egostical mugging by Prince that verges on camp.

Where Purple Rain was dramatic and serious, cut together with a killer soundtrack, Under the Cherry Moon is a lighthearted comedy, more in the tradition of the screwball comedies of the 1930s.
Under the Cherry Moon provides a few laughs - both of the intentional and unintentional variety, and has at least one good song on the soundtrack ("Kiss") - but ultimately, one's enjoyment of this film is going to rely heavily on just how much you like Prince.
Under the Cherry Moon is certainly not for all tastes, and the enjoyment of it will depend on a number of things.
Under the Cherry Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (482 words)
Under the Cherry Moon is a 1986 movie directed by and starring Prince and Time member Jerome Benton as gigolos who swindle beautiful French women.
Allegedly, the part of Mary's mother was also much larger, but was cut down in the final draft of the screenplay.
Filmed with a budget of about $12 million, Under the Cherry Moon failed to gain any breakout audience, despite much pre-publicity (including a special MTV premiere in Sheridan, Wyoming).
