Desperately Seeking Susan

Beverly Hills, CA: Orion Pictures, 1985. Vintage US one sheet poster for the 1985 US film.

Madonna's first major screen role, for which "The New Yorker's" Pauline Kael praised her as, "an indolent, trampy goddess." A film about a bored housewife and her fascination with a bohemian drifter, whose life she follows voyeuristically through the latter's frequent personal adds. When a particular add leads her to Battery park, she becomes mixed up in a case of mistaken identity prompted by amnesia. The film was inspired in part by Jacques Rivette's 1974 seminal classic "Celine et Julie vont en bateau."

Shot on location in New Jersey and New York City.

27 x 41 inches, folded. Near Fine.
