Blondie fans: Here's Deborah Harry's old screen test for the 1980 movie Union City

The TIME Magazine review was far more positive than “lukewarm.” Similar reviews from the LA Film Festival (sold out) and screening at Cannes were also positive. This was the first US independent film picked up by the new cable movie networks (Cinemax) and distributed on video (first by Columbia, then later by Fox Lorber) licensed through a little known indy distributor, Cantina Blues Films into global markets.

Eddie Lachman was the DP. Everett McGill was a lead. Chris Stein scored the film. It was (and still is) a pretty nice little film. Who am I to cry over spilled milk…
