With VERY good luck, the owner let me photograph the inside of the studio where the video was shot! The layout is the same, however the stairs have had some updates...

The pool hall/restaurant was El Guanaco. It was not on Lucas and 6th. It was on 6th and Alameda. A friend of mine's mother worked there. I remember seeing the video and recognizing the location because I passed it daily on the bus. It was torn down years ago and is now used for parking. The building next door is still there.
ReplyDeleteI'm honored you checked out my tip and updated your page. Wow! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick ups. I've been up to pretty much the same recently looking for these locations but on google street view as I'm in Australia. I have found all of theses except for the studio...well done there. I'm still a little puzzled with the final night street scenes as the facades of the buildings seem inconsistent between shoots leading me to believe that they were shot at different locations. There is a Hotel Martinez in one of these shots...if someone recalls where this hotel was located back then it might give a few clues.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the guy that played Madonna's boyfriend in the borderline video?
ReplyDeleteGreat dedication. This is really cool stuff. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of this if you don't tell us where the locations are??
ReplyDeleteAll of the locations are identified in the embedded video in the blog.
DeleteAny idea what the pool hall was called?
DeleteSee above comments, El Guanaco.
DeleteI'm a huge Madonna fan and this is an excellent work! Congratulations!! Your dedication is incredible. Can I post some of your pics in my own blog? https://themmagazineblog.wordpress.com/ I will give you all the credits for sure! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSure, but I'm in the process of converting my photos over to my new website.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to maybe to the Herb Ritts/Blond Ambition and Like A Prayer ones first, that would be great. Here are the links:
