Born Yesterday (1950)
Country: US
Technical: bw 103m
Director: George Cukor
Cast: Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford, William Holden
Synopsis:
A vulgar but wealthy tycoon hires an academic to teach his rough-edged moll some social graces. However, beneath the blonde brassiness there lies a fine intellect.
Review:
Naturally this has more than a touch of Pygmalion, and love blooms between teacher and pupil. Garson Kanin's adaptation of his own play works superbly in its Washington context, and the cast are all on top form, with Holliday coming into her own, life imitating art.
