Born Yesterday

1993 · 100 min

A breezy, good-natured charmer about a woman finding her voice, easy to sink into with a light comic glow.

Tagline: Never underestimate the power of an underestimated woman.
Overview: A rich millionaire hires a sophisticated journalist to bring his somewhat dim-witted girlfriend up to the level of his peers. He fears that the showgirl's lack of etiquette may damage his own social reputation and tries to change her — but fails to realise that her enhanced eloquence will empower her to voice her own strong opinions.
How it feels: Warm, light, romantic and satirical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, class, power, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
