Born Yesterday
It's Here AT LAST!
A witty, mid-century romantic comedy that uses political satire and a showgirl's awakening to critique corruption while celebrating charm and personal growth.
Uncouth, loud-mouth junkyard tycoon Harry Brock descends upon Washington D.C. to buy himself a congressman or two, bringing with him his mistress, ex-showgirl Billie Dawn.
