Bleeker St. Cinema

The place where Dez worked was the Bleeker St. Cinema.



One of the landmark Greenwich Village theatres played the offbeat films long before anyone involved with the Angelika was even born. Run for many years by Sid Geffen and Jackie Raynal who also had the Carniege Hall Cinema. The second screen called the Agee Room was added around 1982 and was very tiny.

The theatre went through a soap opera like ownership struggle near its end with three parties fighting for the space. The theatre ended it's life as a porno theatre and then when the neighborhood complained had a very short stint again showing moveover art films, until it was gutted for retail space.

Trivia

Director Susan Seidelman knew Madonna from the local club scene before she was famous, dancing at clubs like Danceteria and Paradise Garage.

Allowing Madonna to express the role in her own way turned out to be a very wise move. Desperately Seeking Susan was rush released for the Easter season and earned an unexpected $16 million dollars.

Madonna had considerable control over the roll: She did her own hair and make-up,supplied her own wardrobe, and injected Susan with her own brand of confidence.

The film has 2 taglines...

"Roberta is desperate to be Susan.Susan is wanted by the mob. The mob finds Roberta instead."

"A life so outrageous it takes 2 women to live it."
