Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall , from a screenplay by J. F. Lawton . The film stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere , and features Héctor Elizondo , Ralph Bellamy (in his final performance), Laura San Giacomo , and Jason Alexander in supporting roles. [1]
The film's story centers on Hollywood prostitute Vivian Ward and wealthy businessman Edward Lewis. Vivian is hired to be Edward's escort for several business and social functions, and their relationship develops over the course of her week-long stay with him.
The film's title Pretty Woman is based on the 1964 song " Oh, Pretty Woman " by Roy Orbison . It is the first film on-screen collaboration between Gere and Roberts; their second film, Runaway Bride , was released in 1999.
Originally intended to be a dark cautionary tale about class and prostitution in Los Angeles , the film was re-conceived as a romantic comedy with a large budget. It was widely successful at the box office and was the third-highest-grossing film of 1990 . The film saw the highest number of ticket sales in the US ever for a romantic comedy, [2] with Box Office Mojo listing it as the number-one romantic comedy by the highest estimated domestic tickets sold at 42,176,400, slightly ahead of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) at 41,419,500 tickets. [3] The film received mixed reviews, though Roberts received a Golden Globe Award and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance, which catapulted her to stardom. In addition, screenwriter J. F. Lawton was nominated for a Writers Guild Award and a BAFTA Award .
Edward Lewis, a high-powered corporate raider from New York, buys and dismantles struggling companies, selling off the assets for profit. He wants his girlfriend Jessica to accompany him during a business trip, but fed up with being his "beck and call girl", she breaks up with him. Leaving a business party in the Hollywood Hills , Edward takes his lawyer's Lotus Esprit sports car and accidentally ends up on Hollywood Boulevard in the city's red-light district . There he encounters sex worker Vivian Ward. As he is having difficulties driving a manual transmission car, he pays Vivian to drive him to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel . Edward then impulsively hires her for the night, and despite some awkwardness, finds her charming and gets on well with her.
The next day, Edward asks Vivian to play his girlfriend that week at a series of business events he is attending while attempting a takeover of shipbuilder James Morse's company. Edward offers Vivian $3,000 and a new wardrobe for six days. Vivian excitedly accepts, but when she attempts to go shopping on Rodeo Drive , she is turned away by the rude, snobbish saleswomen and turns to Barney, the hotel's manager, for help. He teaches her proper etiquette and arranges for her to buy a cocktail dress for an important business dinner that evening. At the dinner meeting Edward introduces Vivian to James and his grandson David; the latter is being groomed to take over the company after his grandfather dies. The business meeting does not go well and James and David are unimpressed by Edward wanting to buy and sell off their company. Edward is impressed by Vivian's transformation and opens up to her, revealing details about his personal and business life, including his turbulent relationship with his late father, Carter, from whom he was estranged at the time of his death.
When Edward's attorney, Phillip, suspects Vivian is a corporate spy after seeing her talking to David at a polo game, Edward reveals how they met. Phillip later crudely propositions Vivian for her services after Edward is finished with her. Vivian is hurt and furious at Edward for exposing her. Edward apologizes, revealing he was jealous of Vivian talking to David and realizes Vivian's straightforward personality is rubbing off on him. Edward takes Vivian by private jet to see La traviata at the San Francisco Opera . The story of a sex worker who falls in love with a rich man moves Vivian. She later breaks her "no kissing" rule while having sex with Edward. After mistakenly believing Edward is asleep, Vivian admits she loves him.
His return to New York imminent, Edward offers to help Vivian get off the streets and suggests putting her up in a nice condo and giving her an allowance, promising to visit her regularly. Vivian is offended by the offer, as Edward is still treating her like a sex worker, and recalls a childhood fantasy of being rescued from her abusive home by a knight on a white steed. Edward meets with James but, changed by his experience with Vivian, chooses to work with him to save his company instead of dismantling it. Phillip, furious that Edward's new direction has cost him a fortune, goes to the hotel to confront him but finds only Vivian. Blaming her for Edward's changing character, he attempts to rape her. Edward arrives and punches Phillip, then fires him.
With his business in Los Angeles complete, Edward asks Vivian to stay with him one more night, but only if she wants to, not because he is paying her. She gently refuses and leaves. Edward re-thinks his life, and while being driven to the airport has the chauffeur detour to Vivian's apartment building. He climbs out through the white limousine's sunroof and ascends the fire escape to rescue Vivian just like the knight in her fantasy.
The film was initially conceived as a dark drama about prostitution in Los Angeles in the 1980s. [4] The relationship between Vivian and Edward also originally involved controversial themes, including Vivian being addicted to drugs ; part of the deal was that she had to stay off cocaine for a week. Edward eventually throws her out of his car and drives off. The original script by J.F. Lawton, called 3000 , [5] ended with Vivian and her prostitute friend on the bus to Disneyland. [4] Producer Laura Ziskin considered these elements detrimental to a sympathetic portrayal of Vivian, and they were removed or assigned to Kit. The deleted scenes have been found, and some were included on the DVD released for the film's 15th anniversary. [4] In one, Vivian tells Edward, "I could just pop ya good and be on my way", indicating her lack of interest in " pillow talk ". In another, she is confronted by a drug dealer, Carlos, then rescued by Edward when the limo driver Darryl gets his gun out.
Though inspired by such films as Wall Street and The Last Detail , [5] the film bears a resemblance to Pygmalion myths : particularly George Bernard Shaw 's play of the same name , which also formed the basis for the Broadway musical My Fair Lady . It was Walt Disney Studios then-president Jeffrey Katzenberg who insisted the film be re-written as a modern-day fairy tale and love story, as opposed to the original dark drama. It was pitched to Touchstone Pictures and re-written as a romantic comedy. [6] The title 3000 was changed because Disney executives thought it sounded like a title for a science fiction film. [7]
Casting of the film was a rather lengthy process. Marshall had initially considered Christopher Reeve , Daniel Day-Lewis , Kevin Kline , and Denzel Washington for the role of Edward, and Albert Brooks , [8] Al Pacino and Burt Reynolds turned it down. [9] Pacino went as far as doing a casting reading with Roberts before rejecting the part. [10] Sam Neill , Tom Conti and Charles Grodin tested for the part along with Roberts. [11] Gere initially refused but when he met with Roberts, she persuaded him and he eventually agreed to play Lewis. [12] He reportedly started off much more active in his role; but Garry Marshall took him aside and said "No, no, no, Richard. In this movie, one of you moves and one of you does not. Guess which one you are?" [13]
Julia Roberts was not the first choice for the role of Vivian, and was not wanted by Disney. Many other actresses were considered. Marshall originally envisioned Karen Allen for the role; when she declined, auditions went to many better-known actresses of the time including Molly Ringwald , [14] who turned it down because she felt uncomfortable playing a prostitute. [ citation needed ] Winona Ryder auditioned, but was turned down because Marshall felt she was "too young". Jennifer Connelly was also dismissed for the same reason. [4] Emily Lloyd turned it down as it conflicted with her shooting for the film Mermaids . [15] Drew Barrymore , Brooke Shields , Uma Thurman , and Kristin Davis auditioned for the role of Vivian. [16]
Meg Ryan , who was a top choice of Marshall's, turned it down as well. According to a note written by Marshall, Mary Steenburgen was also among the first choices. Diane Lane came very close to being cast (the script was much darker at the time); they had gone as far as costume fittings, but due to scheduling conflicts she could not accept. Michelle Pfeiffer turned the role down, saying she did not like the script's "tone." [17] Daryl Hannah was also considered, but believed the role was "degrading to women". [17] Valeria Golino declined, doubting it would work with her thick Italian accent. [ citation needed ] And Jennifer Jason Leigh had auditioned. [18] Lea Thompson unsuccessfully auditioned for the role as she thought the film was a drama. [19] When all the other actresses turned down the role, 21-year-old Julia Roberts , a relative unknown, with only the sleeper hit Mystic Pizza (1988) and the yet-to-be-released Steel Magnolias (1989), for which she would be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress , won the role of Vivian. Her performance made her a star. J.F. Lawton, writer of the original screenplay, has suggested that the film was ultimately given a happy ending because of the chemistry of Gere and Roberts. [5]
Veteran actor Ralph Bellamy , who plays James Morse, appears in his final acting performance before his death in 1991. Jason Alexander , who had also recently been cast for his role as the bumbling George Costanza in Seinfeld , was cast as Philip Stuckey. A VHS copy of Pretty Woman would appear in Seinfeld's apartment in later seasons of Seinfeld as a homage to Alexander's participation in the film.
The film's budget was substantial, at $14 million, so producers could shoot in many locations. [4] Most filming took place in Los Angeles, California , specifically in Beverly Hills , and inside soundstages at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank . The escargot restaurant the "Voltaire" was shot at the restaurant "Rex," now called "Cicada". Scenes set in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel lobby were shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles . Filming commenced on July 24, 1989, but was immediately plagued by problems. These included Ferrari and Porsche declining the product placement opportunity for the car Edward drove, neither firm wishing to be associated with prostitutes. [4] Lotus Cars saw the placement value, and supplied a Silver 1989.5 Esprit SE (which was later sold). [20]
Shooting was a generally pleasant, easy-going experience, as the budget was broad and the shooting schedule was not tight. [4] While shooting the scene where Vivian is lying down on the floor of Edward's penthouse, watching reruns of I Love Lucy , Garry Marshall had to tickle Roberts' feet (out of camera range) to get her to laugh. [21] The scene in which Gere playfully snaps the lid of a jewelry case on her fingers was improvised, and her surprised laugh was genuine. The red dress Vivian wears to the opera has been listed among the most unforgettable dresses of all time. [22]
During the scene in which Roberts sang to a Prince song in the bathtub, slid down and submerged her head under the bubbles; she emerged to find the crew had left except for the cameraman, who captured the moment on film. In the love scene, she was so stressed that a vein became noticeable on her forehead and had to be massaged by Marshall and Gere. She also developed a case of hives , and calamine lotion was used to soothe her skin until filming resumed. [4] The filming was completed on November 30. [23]
Shelley Michelle acted as body double for Roberts in risqué scenes and the film poster. [24]
In its opening weekend, the film was at number one at the US box office , grossing $11,280,591 and averaging $8,513 per theater. [25] Despite dropping to number two in its second weekend, it grossed more with $12,471,670. [25] It returned to number one at the US box
