Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1946 play by Garson Kanin, Born Yesterday is best known for its 1950 film version directed by George Cukor. The play and film starred Judy Holliday, who won an Oscar as Best Actress for the film version. Her big screen co-stars were Broderick Crawford and William Holden. Another film version was made in 1993, starring Melanie Griffith, John Goodman and Don Johnson; it was not well-received.The story concerns Harry Brock, an unscrupulous tycoon who wants even more money. He decides to buy the favors of a few congressmen to help further his schemes.

Adaptational Wimp: In the original play and 1950 film, Harry is noted to be a ruthless gangster who's gone as far as having people killed in order to get his way. In the 1993 film, he's merely a very scrupulous businessman who engages in extensive bribery to get what he wants. There's no mention of him ever ordering someone's death; the worst he threatens is to ruin Paul's career as a journalist. But once it becomes clear he can't buy Paul's silence, he quickly realizes he's run out of defenses. | |
