Happy Birthday, Mr. Christian
[BE THE FIRST TO RATE THIS MOVIE]Calorie Rating: 30
Running Time: 21 Minutes
We find our three heroines at a reading of the will of their uncle, Mr. Christian, who also ran a school for girls. Christian decided that his nieces need humbling and so he left them nothing. They must go out and get jobs immediately. Produced by Prince, the short film was created as a promotional tool for the trio, Apollonia 6. The film, which was titled either “Happy Birthday, Mr. Christian” or “Apollonia 6: the Movie,” was shot but never given a final edit – only a leaked version exists, missing sound effects, bumper music for the shot transitions, and is clearly a rough cut. The Apollonia 6 film was directed by Brian Thomson, an Aussie who did the production design for the original productions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the original stage show.
