Pretty Woman (1990 Garry Marshall)

What would the film have been like with Jodie Foster as the prostitute? Not as much fun, I think. Film is cool thanks to a mass of details, the way Hector Elizondo looks more and more admiringly as she walks by, the look on the elevator operator's face, a waiter who catches a snail, the notes on Richard Gere's piano, "I was angry with him", that Kit (Laura San Giacomo) isn't going anywhere in a hurry.

There's a definite scent of Born Yesterday (and by that I might as well include Pygmalion) to it.
