Pretty Woman Overview

Pretty Woman is a romantic comedy film released in 1990, directed by Garry Marshall and starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The film follows the story of Vivian Ward, a prostitute played by Roberts, who is hired by Edward Lewis (Gere), a wealthy businessman, to be his escort for several business and social events.

As the two spend time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other and their relationship deepens. However, their different backgrounds and lifestyles create obstacles for them to overcome. The film also explores themes of class and gender, as Vivian is judged and mistreated by those in Edward’s upper-class circles because of her profession.

The film was a box office success and was nominated for three Golden Globe awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Julia Roberts received widespread acclaim for her performance and the film helped to establish her as a leading actress in Hollywood. The film’s iconic scene where Vivian sings Prince’s “Kiss” in the bathtub has become a memorable moment in the film’s history. Pretty woman’s theme song, “Oh, Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison also became a hit after the film release.

The film’s ending, where Edward takes Vivian to the opera and they kiss, is considered a classic romantic moment in cinema.
