Oh dear. Stage versions of Pretty Woman and Indecent Proposal - why?

Suzanne Moore has written a good article about this.

Yes, you can find the original plot and it is very different. Long term effects of street work/drugs. In the original, the pretty woman has a higher budget interlude and is then returned back to the streets.

There is so much wrong with Pretty Woman though, I don't even know where to start. I didn't know the original screenplay had been grittier - that's interesting.

you're right, OneEpisode, I haven't. I have seen Speed 2 Cruise Control though, and that was a close contender

Flushed, I think you haven’t seen the 2017 CHiPs movie.

I think Indecent Proposal might be the worst film I've ever seen.

Someone on here posted the original screenplay of Pretty Woman with the original mental health issues, economic reality and gritty ending. I’m assuming it’s not that version.
