She escapes her troubles by going to the movies as often as she can and getting lost in beautiful love stories. In the latest movie, The Purple Rose of Cairo, a charming archeologist named Tom Baxter (Daniels) falls in love with a glamorous nightclub singer. After losing her job, Cecilia tries to raise her spirits by going to see the film another time. Unexpectedly, Tom Baxter walks right off the screen and into Cecilia's life.Tom's exit from the movie causes an uproar as the characters left in the film fight amongst themselves. Suddenly, Tom Baxters in other screenings are trying to leave their theaters and audiences have no idea how to handle it. Real life actor Gil Shepherd (also Daniels) is forced to track down his character Tom and convince him to go back into the movie. But Tom has fallen in love with Cecilia and she must decide whether to live a life of fantasy or reality.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bittersweet Ending: Depending on how you look at it. Cecilia is stood up by Gil, who seems to genuinely regret leaving her behind, and Tom returns to his film and is supposedly destroyed. However, she is finally free of her abusive home-life with Monk, and the final moments of the film imply that her life will get better from that point on. | |
