A promotional film for Dexys Midnight Runners' 1985 single in which Kevin Rowland attempts to explain the indefinable qualities of woman to bandmate Billy Adams. This dialogue is intercut with scenes of Rowland singing and dancing through a desolate Wall Street and footage of the extended group performing in-studio. Directed by Jack Hazan (David Hockney: A Bigger Splash, Rude Boy).

In 1987, to capitalize on his growing success in Europe, Prince toured extensively to promote the album of the same name and sales increased accordingly. However, the United States remained resistant to his latest album, and sales began to drop; it was at this point that Prince decided to film a live concert promoting the new material, for eventual distribution to theaters in America. Featuring the band that accompanied Prince on his 1987 Sign o' the Times Tour, including dancer Cat Glover, keyboardist Boni Boyer, bassist Levi Seacer, Jr., guitarist Miko Weaver, drummer Sheila E. and former member of The Revolution keyboardist Dr. Fink, the film sees the group perform live on stage (although "U Got the Look" is represented by its promotional music video).
