Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman (1990) is a romantic comedy directed by Garry Marshall that you can watch online on iFILM. Richard Gere plays Edward Lewis, a Wall Street corporate raider with no time for feelings. Julia Roberts plays Vivian Ward, a Hollywood Boulevard escort with no time for illusions. Touchstone Pictures released the film on March 23, 1990; it earned over $460 million worldwide on a $14 million budget.

Edward hires Vivian for a week as his companion — business dinners, the opera, polo matches. The arrangement is supposed to stay simple. It doesn't. She has to learn which fork to use and navigate salespeople on Rodeo Drive who look right through her. He has to figure out that not everything in life is a hostile takeover. Jason Alexander plays Edward's ruthless lawyer, and Laura San Giacomo is Vivian's sharp-tongued friend Kit — both keeping the film grounded in something real.

The movie launched Julia Roberts into superstardom and earned her an Academy Award nomination. Decades later it still defines the genre. Stream Pretty Woman (1990) in great quality online on iFILM.
