The Dryden will screen Pretty Woman (Garry Marshall, U.S. 1990, 119 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.

One of the quintessential romantic movies of the 1990s, Pretty Woman is a compulsively watchable and immensely entertaining riff on the ancient Cinderella myth of Prince Charming on a white horse. In a breakthrough role, Julia Roberts shines as a kindhearted hooker rescued by a wealthy businessman in the suave shape of Richard Gere. This colorful catalogue of irresistible clichés has charmed critics and international audiences alike, while acquiring the status of a proper camp classic in certain circles.
