"Who's That Girl" is the name of a film released on August 7, 1987 by Warner Bros. starring Madonna and Griffin Dunne. The film was written by Ken Finkleman and directed by James Foley.

Although popular among teenage audiences, the film did poorly both critically and financially. Its soundtrack, "Who's That Girl", was much more successful, spawning a number-one and two hits in the title song "Who's That Girl" and "Causing a Commotion" respectively. A third track, "The Look of Love" was a top 10 UK hit. The film was released on video cassette on November 11 1987 and later DVD on February 14 2006. Madonna's Who's That Girl Tour was a success in eighteen cities across Asia, North America and Europe.

ynopsis

"Who's That Girl", a modern-day adaptation of the 1938 Howard Hawks film "Bringing up Baby", features a strait-laced character engaged with a woman he does not love, while a wild woman distracts him from his wedding preparations. Originally titled "Slammer", Madonna decided on "Who's That Girl"; as it was for the film's theme song. The song went to #1 on the Billboard chart in August 1987.

Plot

Griffin Dunne plays Loudon Trott, an attorney engaged to the daughter of his boss. Madonna plays Nikki Finn, a recently paroled criminal who was framed by the mafia for the murder of her boyfriend. Trott agrees to escort Finn from the prison to the bus terminal as part of a social services program, but she has other plans - namely to prove her innocence, which takes him all across New York City. Various slapstick hijinks ensue along their adventure together. The film also features a cougar named Murray, a nod to Hawks' work.

Reception

Despite the movie's failure at the box office its reputation has slightly rebounded as an off-beat example of 80's excess. The film saw DVD release in February 2006.A Laserdisc version was also released in the US and UK.
