Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) (original) (raw)

Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta fills her days by reading the personals ads and following an ongoing romance between "Jim" and "Susan", a mysterious drifter who appears to lead the kind of free-spirited life about which Roberta can only dream. And dream she does, until the day she actually shows up at the couple's pre-arranged rendezvous in New York City ... and after a bump on the head, a bout of amnesia turns Roberta into Susan and opens the door to intrigue, laughter and love.
