Born Yesterday (1950) is one of funniest films ever made. This
version has Melanie Griffith attempting the impossible,trying to
recreate the role that won Judy Holiday a best actress Oscar. Although Griffith tries hard, she is no match for Holiday, and Don
Johnson is certainly no substitute for William Holden. The only one
of the cast who comes close to the original, is John Goodman. For anybody that doesn't know the story outline, Harry Block,(John
Goodman ) a crooked junk tycoon hires a journalist Paul Verrall
(Don Johnson ) to teach his girlfriend Billie Dawn, some social
skills, as she is unused the high society life of the Washington
elite. In a choice between the two, watch the original.
