Born Yesterday [39]

I really enjoyed watching this movie. Our girl, Billie, is a “dumb broad” but she doesn’t give a damn, “I’m stupid and I like it,.. as long as I know how to get what I want that’s all I want to know,” she say’s herself. Anyways her corrupt and very wealthy boyfriend hires a journalist to get some smart into her. So he won’t be ashamed of taking her out to meet all the high class people he’s messing with.
Bille gets down talked day in and out, hard to believe she stays with Brock. All they do is scream at each other from rooms away and play card games, sort of amusing to watch but you begin to wonder how she can handle it. Even when she starts picking up a few things here and there and getting more confident about being able to read and understand what it is she’s reading he’ll still call her stupid and make her feel bad.
Bille starts falling for the journalist, who encourages her to keep trying and has nothing but faith in her, and starts to see how corrupt her boyfriend really is. Brock thinks she’s been reading too much and now understands more than she can handle but that’s not even half of it. He’s trying to buy these high-class congressman and she won’t let him take things further. But how do you expect a “dumb broad” and a petty journalist to beat a boss-man like persona at his own game?
