The goofy innocence does get exhausting after a time but in the latter third Ssan Seidelman allows it to progress to an ending that touches in the film’s chaotically amiable way. She has two good performers on hand who do make the film work a good deal more than it would have without them – Ann Magnuson who has a way of lighting up the entire screen every time she crinkles her eyes in humour and John Malkovich whose dual essayal of the emotionless Jeff and the wide-awake blank innocent Ulysses is an extraordinary chameleon split.

Seidelman has alas failed to make another Desperately Seeking Susan – her subsequent films have entirely eluded cinematic releases and she now tends to work in tv. She went onto make the wholly unlikeable Fay Weldon bastardisation She-Devil (1989) but then faded away. After building a cybernetic replica of a space-bound scientist in his own image, emotionless Dr Ulysses hires a beautiful, perky.

Disappointingly, Seidelman never quite fulfilled her initial promise. After appearing with the likeable Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), which became a reasonable hit, Susan Seidelman was seen as one of the few women directors working in the mainstream during the 1980s.
