Today I watched again "Desperately Seeking Susan," the 1985 Susan Seidelman-directed flick showcasing the best of Madonna's acting abilities.
The movie is cool and nostalgic, jam-packed with Big Apple early '80s street cred by featuring cultural hotspotsof the time Danceteria (where everyone dances to Madge's "Into the Groove") and the (still-thriving) Greenwich Village vintage store Love Saves The Day.
The movie also features underground New York musicians in bit parts including Richard Hell (of Richard Hell and The Voidoids) as the thug "Meeker", No Wave pioneer Arto Lindsay as a newspaper clerk and Bongwater chanteuse Ann Magnuson as a cigarette girl.
