Synopsis

Born Yesterday is one of America's original screwball comedies! Harry Brock, an Ohio junk dealer, has arrived in post World War II Washington to buy a few favors from political types. He realizes that his fiancee, Billie Dawn, may need a makeover to fit his new "inside-the-beltway" image. Billie is a kept woman in the literal sense of the word. An unlimited expense account keeps her in furs and in her place. To ensure that Billie gets properly "culturefied," Brock hires a D.C. journalist to give the seemingly dim-witted blonde a crash course in politics, history, literature, and, of course, true love. The Golden Age of comedy proves that times haven't changed. Washington pay-for-play, All-American humor and true love weren't born yesterday; they are stronger than ever!
