Forever, Lulu (1986)
When Elaine, an adventurous young woman from Germany, arrives in New York City, she sets out to be a famous writer.

Before long, Elaine gets roped into situations involving theft, murder and the mob. Can the beleaguered expatriate with big dreams turn her life around and steer clear of crime and chaos?
