Born Yesterday
Sunday, 15 June, 2025
Judy Holliday unexpectedly won the 1950 Best Actress Oscar instead of Bette Davis in All About Eve and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd, but the Judes IS outstandingly funny in Born Yesterday. George Cukor's classic comedy actually gets funnier as it goes along, as the likable ditz Holliday grows curious about history, politics, word origins...and bettering herself. Broderick Crawford plays her uncouth, corrupt, long-time boyfriend who's in Washington to buy himself his very own politician while William Holden is the journalist paid to teach Holliday things she didn't know. And fun ensues. This 672nd episode on Have You Ever Seen is a one-Ryan edition, so shuffle through your dictionary to find exactly the right words as even Born Yesterday gets a thorough reviewin'...even.
