Ciao! Manhattan is a 1972 American avant garde film starring Edie Sedgwick. Written and directed by John Palmer and David Weisman, Warhol superstar Susan Bottomly (International Velvet) was initially intended to star in the film. When Sedgwick was cast as her replacement the film came to center on a character resembling Sedgwick, dealing with the pain of addiction and the lure of fame.
