Who's That Girl (1987 film)
Who's That Girl is a 1987 American screwball comedy film directed by James Foley and written by Andrew Smith and Ken Finkleman.
It stars Madonna and Griffin Dunne, and depicts the story of a street-smart girl who is falsely accused of murdering her boyfriend and is sent to jail.
After getting released, she meets a man, who is supposed to make sure she gets on her bus back to Philadelphia, and convinces him to help her catch those responsible for her confinement.
While searching for the embezzler, they fall in love with each other.
After the failure of her 1986 film "Shanghai Surprise", Madonna decided to sign up for another comedy film titled "Slammer", which was later renamed
"Who's That Girl".
However, she had to convince both Warner Bros. and the producers of the film that she was ready for the project.
Madonna enlisted her friend James Foley to direct the film.
Shooting began in New York in October 1986, and continued until March 1987.
Production was halted during December due to snowfall in New York.
Madonna utilized the time to work on her next tour and the soundtrack of the film.
The film was released on August 7, 1987, and was a box office bomb, grossing only $2.5 million in its first week, with its final domestic total being about $7.3 million on a budget between $17 million and $20 million.
Critics were highly disappointed with the film, and Foley's direction.
Madonna's accompanying Who's
That Girl World Tour went on to be a critical and commercial success, grossing a total of US$25 million, and playing in front of audiences totaling 1.5 million people.
The soundtrack also enjoyed commercial success, with the title track becoming Madonna's sixth number one single on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 record chart.
Who's That Girl (Madonna song)
" Who's That Girl" is a song by American singer Madonna from the soundtrack album of the 1987 film," Who's That Girl".
It was released on June 23, 1987, by Sire Records as the first album single.
The song was later included on the two- disc edition of Madonna's 2009 greatest hits album" Celebration".
While shooting for the film, then called" Slammer", Madonna had requested Patrick Leonard to develop an uptempo song that captured the nature of her film persona.
She later added the lyrics and vocals to the demo tape developed by Leonard, and decided to rename the song as well as the film to" Who's That Girl".
Featuring instrumentation from drums, bass, and stringed instruments," Who's That Girl" continued Madonna's fascination with Hispanic culture by incorporating Spanish lyrics and using the effect of double vocals.
Critical reception was mixed to positive; some critics compared it to Madonna's previous single," La Isla Bonita", while others found it forgettable.
" Who's That Girl" became Madonna's sixth single to top the" Billboard" Hot 100, while peaking atop the charts in countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium.
It was also nominated for" Best Song From A Motion Picture" at the 1988 Grammy Awards and" Best Original Song" at the 1988 Golden Globe Awards.
The music video portrayed a different persona of Madonna, rather than her film character for which it was released.
Like the song, it incorporated Hispanic culture and portrayed her dressed in Spanish style as a young lady in search of a treasure.
Madonna has performed the song on her Who's That Girl( 1987) and Rebel Heart( 2015–2016) tours.
The song has been covered by many artists and has appeared in compilations and tribute albums.
