Born Yesterday (ej svensk text)

Judy Holliday (The Marrying Kind) won the 1950 Best Actress Oscar for her brilliant and funny role as Billie Dawn, the "dumb blonde" girlfriend of Harry Brock (Broderick Crawford - All The King's Men), a corrupt millionaire junk dealer. Brock, a man with social ambitions and a willingness to do anything to fulfil them, is embarrassed by Billie's crass behaviour and lack of social sophistication. So he arranges for her to take a crash course in "culture" from a young journalist (William Holden - The Bridge on the River Kwai). Billie blossoms under his kind tutelage and becomes increasingly aware of her role as a pawn in Brock's crooked business deals. Brock is surprised and outraged when Billie suddenly refuses to cooperate any longer. This is a classic comedy with an unforgettable performance.
