Pretty Woman (1990) starring Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Ralph Bellamy, Jason Alexander, Hector Elizondo. Wealthy businessman Edward Lewis (Gere) picks up a poverty-stricken streetwalker named Vivian (Roberts) and takes her to his Beverly Hills penthouse. He needs a no-obligations companion for a week, so he hires Vivian for $3,000. Naturally, they fall (slowly) in love. Although Gere got top billing, this is the film that launched Roberts to stardom. The shopping scene on Rodeo Drive (accompanied by Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman") is priceless. Alexander is very convincing as a sleazy lawyer who works for Lewis. The captions are very good. Grade: B+
