Born Yesterday (1950)



A million dollar Tycoon hires a tutor to teach his lover proper etiquette.

Competent and fairly entertaining comedy-drama made with wit and good timing;  Judy Holliday, however, steals the show.

Halliwell**: "Pleasant film version of a cast-iron box-office play, subtle and intelligent in all departments yet with a regrettable tendency to wave the flag."

Maltin***1/2: "... Garson Kanin comedy...Priceless Judy repeated Broadway triumph and won Oscar for playing quintessential dumb blonde."
