Pretty Woman (1990) was a smash hit, helping to launch not just the career of Julia Roberts, but a full-fledged a rom com renaissance in the 1990s.

But at the heart of this love story lies a real preoccupation with money - how it changes us, how it defines us… Money makes the world go round.

And while there is power in the motto, "We say who, we say when, we say how much” - at the end of the month, you've still got to pay the rent.

Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall. he film's story centers on down-on-her-luck Hollywood sex worker Vivian Ward, who is hired by Edward Lewis, a wealthy businessman, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and their developing relationship over the course of her week-long stay with him.
