Cradle of Love (Billy Idol song)

The video, directed by David Fincher, features footage of Idol singing in large painting frames throughout an apartment.

The director made the decision to film Idol from the waist up as he was unable to walk due to injuries from a February 1990 motorcycle crash.

[3] The video also features Betsy Lynn George as Devon, a teenager who tries to seduce a modest and mild-mannered businessman (played by Joshua Townshend-Zellner).

An alternative version of the video does not feature the movie's footage, instead depicting a man playing the guitar as heard in the track.

Upon its release as a single, Gary Crossing of Record Mirror commented that Idol "sneers, growls and rebel yells his way through another laughable, leatherclad anthem".
