  • Summary

  • Book Vs. Movie: Born YesterdayThe 1946 Play Vs.The 1950 Movie"Born Yesterday" (based on the 1946 play by Garson Kanin) is a sharp critique of corruption and a celebration of personal growth. It explores the transformative power of education and delves into themes of ethics and integrity. Even after over seven decades, its themes of empowerment, integrity, and social critique remain relevant, making it a timeless classic. George Cukor directed the 1950 film, which featured an electrifying performance by Judy Holliday, who won an Academy Award for Best Actress. In 1993, the film was adapted with Melanie Griffith in the lead role. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out.
