The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)

Movie

A depressed waitress in 1930s New Jersey escapes her dreary life by going to the movies. During a repeated viewing of her favorite film, "The Purple Rose of Cairo," the dashing hero on screen notices her and literally walks off the screen into the real world. This creates chaos for the studio and the actor who played the role, while the woman is caught between a perfect fictional man and his very real, flawed counterpart.
