Pretty Woman

Not a bad flick, but the “Pretty Woman” we got is way different from the movie “Pretty Woman” was supposed to be. Originally, it wasn’t even a romantic comedy, but a dark and gritty look at hooking in LA. The basic structure of the rich yuppie hiring the street hooker for a week was the same. But in early drafts of the script, Vivian was a drug addict, Edward was a more complete piece of s–t, and at the end he kicks her out of his car and back to the corner. Not as pleasant, but infinitely more realistic.
