Classic film screening of Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) spices up her stale routine by reading personal ads in the newspaper - particularly a fascinating series of them being placed by a mysterious denizen of New York City named Susan (Madonna, in her first major screen role). When one of Susan's ads proposes a rendezvous with her suitor (Robert Joy) in Battery Park, Roberta secretly tags along. But when her voyeuristic adventure ends in permanent memory loss (and a brand new jacket), Roberta begins to gather a lot of unwanted attention from some unsavoury characters.
