    Storyline

    Edit
    The music video, directed by Peter Rosenthal, begins with Madonna entering a park. After meeting two children and a teenage boy, they start roaming around the park, with Madonna singing the song. These scenes are interchanged with scenes from the motion picture, which show Madonna as the movie character Nikki Fynn. As the music video progresses, Madonna is shown to be in search of an Egyptian treasure casket. After being directed to it by a version of the High Priestess tarot card displaying her cartoon impersonation, Madonna opens it to find a huge diamond. She looks up happily to the children. The video ends with them continuing dancing and Madonna carrying away the casket. —Peter-Patrick76 (peter-patrick@mail.com)

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      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".
    • Goofs
      Near the end of the video (where the characters start to dance), It takes a few seconds for the young girl to realise what she needs to be doing. 15 seconds later she temporarily stops dancing before starting again (being blocked by the teenage boy).

    She is my 1st crush (tv)
    This spark lighted at the end of our 1987 summer vacation watching Madie performance live on French TV on a saturday night with my grandmother and waiting our parents to come back home after visiting their ailing father!

    This period was NOTHING at your fingertip so you can be sure that I was determined to read every paper, watched TOP50 and listening the radio to catch the song everyday !
