Features: DVD
Academy Award-nominee Melanie Griffith (Best Actress, 1989, Working Girl) stars as Billie Dawn, a Las Vegas showgirl whose lack of sophistication embarrasses her Washington, D.C., millionaire boyfriend (John Goodman, The Babe). He, in turn, hires a handsome and well-educated journalist (Don Johnson, Guilty As Sin) to help smarten her up. In no time at all, the millionaire gets much more than he bargains for! And as Billie blossoms into an independent thinker, sparks fly as she uses her learning to turn the nation's capital upside down! You're sure to love Born Yesterday, the hilariously delightful comedy hit that proves you should never underestimate the power of an underestimated woman!
Editor's Note
After arriving in Washington D.C. and being embarrassed by a few awkward social situations, a millionaire hires a journalist to help polish his Las Vegas show-girl wife's manners and diction. Surprising everyone, she develops a mind (and opinions) of her own. A remake of the 1950 comedy.
Plot Summary
Remake and updated version of the 1950 classic "Born Yesterday" directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Holliday, William Holden and Broderick Crawford. A dumb blond show girl becomes savvy to Washington DC political ways and becomes a liability to her unscrupulous real estate boyfriend, but an asset to the reporter assigned to do a story on him.
