Feel good Julia Roberts 'debut'

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2019)

Romantic comedy from 1990 starring Richard Gere as a rich businessman Edward Lewis who happens to hire the services of Los Angeles prostitute Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts).
The arrangement begins with simple directions, to personally driving Edwards Lotus sportscar to staying overnight at the swish Regent Beverley Wiltshire Hotel to eventually staying as Edward's companion for the entire week of his stay.
The film airs on the comic side in scenes where downmarket prostitute Vivian mixes with the rich elite of Beverley Hills.
The film ends like a fairy tale for her as she is offered the chance of a new life away from her poverty lifestyle.
The soundtrack is particularly good with songs from the likes of Roy Orbison to Go West and Roxette (it is nigh on 27 years old now!)
The film marks the big break for actress Julia Roberts who would go on to become one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.
The screenplay has some great lines that I couldn't possibly repeat but even my action/horror/serious cinematic tastes were left amused by the film on first viewing on its cinematic release in Australia in 1990 to present day.
