On this episode of
WUH we discuss the 1977 film
Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
Goodbar was written and directed by Richard Brooks, based on
the
1975 novel by Judith Rossner, which is loosely based on the real life and
death of
Roseann Quinn. The film stars Diane Keaton as Theresa Dunn, a twenty
something woman living in The Big City who leads a “double life.” A devoted
teacher of deaf students by day, Theresa frequents bars and discos at night
seeking out the company of men, if just for one night. Richard Gere and Tom
Berenger, in early roles, play two of those men. Tuesday Weld and William
Atherton also star. Due to music rights issues
Goodbar has never been released on DVD or Blu-Ray, and is not available to stream.
