like in "Pretty Woman."The word was "somewhat." The movies have similar themes even if the specifics are different.
It bothers me that "Pretty Woman" is seen as a high point of 90s cinema. I've always been bothered by the notion that a woman is somehow "property" and think the Gere character shallow and loathsome.
I do wish that those who so admire "Pretty Woman" would watch "Breakfast At Tiffanys."
And, yes, "BAT" is one of the great films of the 60s. And isn't Audrey Hepburn just a sheer delight? She was in all her films but really shines in the roll of Holly. The story is basically fluff but, man, what they did with it!
I do like Julia Roberts very much. She has a great presence and is a highly skilled and apealling actress. She ain't no Audrey Hepburn - but who is?
Audrey was an original. Right up there in the pantheon of leading actresses. There was Kate Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Ingrid Bergman, Maria Falconetti (silents), Audrey Hepburn, Myrna Loy, and sometimes Irene Dunne and Joan Crawford. Then there was all the rest. (I left out modern actresses, of which only a very few belong in the same company as the aforementioned talents.)
Audrey was always delightful. There will never be another who can touch her. She was a great one.
