Story Synopsis

Director Stephen Gyllenhaal’s remake of the 1940s screen adaptation of Graham Swift’s novel Born Yesterday stars Academy Award® nominee Melanie Griffith (Best Actress, Working Girl) as Billie Dawn, a Las Vegas showgirl whose lack of sophistication embarrasses her millionaire crass boyfriend (John Goodman) at political social events in Washington, D.C. A handsome and well-educated journalist (Don Johnson) is hired to help smarten her up and in no time she becomes an independent thinker. Thus proving that you should never underestimate the power of an underestimated woman.
