Susan, for example, is a punk drifter who is in a hotel room with a mobster the first time we see her.

This time, Susan hit the jackpot when she snatched a pair of earrings that looked oh so chic (unaware that they were stolen by a high profile mob member).
Dez lets "Susan" stay at his apartment because he just cannot abandon her after all the mess she went through, even though he's been warned by Jim that "Susan" is a mischief maker and at times cannot be trusted.

The story of Susan is one of apostasy, a falling away, in her case by mere vanity.
The separation from Susan, her status as “no longer a friend of Narnia,” places her somewhere removed from the “place of the blessed.” I cannot write on the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory, because I don’t think I understand it, and because, as an Orthodox priest, it is not the Tradition as I have received it.
But if I understand anything about such doctrines, it is their instinct of “desperately seeking Susan.” Something tells us not to quit, not to stop our prayers, never to give up hope.

But my first viewing of Desperately Seeking Susan during it's 1985 release was in spite of Madonna not because of her, and the only thing that kept me plastered to my seat was the hypnotic baby blues of Aidan Quinn.
In the course of the remarkably complicated plot, Roberta gets bonked on the head, loses her memory, is mistaken for Susan, falls for Aidan's blue eyes and is menaced by a killer looking for stolen Egyptian earrings.
But flat line readings aside, Susan is an interesting character in that she's supposed to be such a Bad Girl, but the worst things she does are smoke cigarettes and wear her underwear on the outside of her clothes.

She's flip, hip, and energetic as Susan, the wild tramp with whom bored, suburban New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) becomes obsessed after reading of her sexual conquests in the personal ads.
Director Susan Seidelmen presents a series of zany incidents too complicated to recount, but the result is that Roberta swaps lifestyles with her fixation to explore New Wave culture on New York's Lower East Side.
But where Smithereens took a more edgy approach to its characters, Susan is a fairy tale romantic comedy, and eventually becomes as conventional as the suburban characters it mocks by settling conflicts with predictable Hollywood formulae.

Desperately Seeking Susan comes to us straight from 1985, and was made when the Madonna that was a household name was a child bearing religious icon, not a bellybutton-flaunting pop singer.
But when she gets daring and decides to spy on one of Susan's New York City rendezvous' more exciting things start to happen for her, culminating in a nasty bump on the head that leaves Roberta believing that she actually is Susan, and leading her into an altogether different and more interesting life.
Unfortunately it is a bit of an ordeal due to a high-pitched squeal that persists throughout, which surely some sound person could have fixed in a nanosecond.
