THE STORY This short news item reports that Prince will head back to Nice, France, the following week to film transitional scenes for his new movie Under the Cherry Moon. Warner Bros. requested the additional footage after test screenings. While in France, Prince will also tape a new music video. The update notes that his new album Parade — Music from Under the Cherry Moon is scheduled to arrive in record stores the following Monday.

CONTEXT & NOTES In late March 1986, Prince was deep in the final stages of post-production for Under the Cherry Moon, his second film as director and star. This brief captures the tight coordination between the album rollout, film completion, and ongoing visual promotion that defined the Parade era. Nice had previously served as the primary filming location for both the movie and the “America” video, making it a natural choice for reshoots.
