Plot Synopsis
When millionaire Harry Brock, played by Broderick Crawford, brings his ditzy mistress, ex-showgirl Emma 'Billie' Dawn, played by Judy Holliday, with him on a shady business trip to Washington, DC, he quickly decides that she is going to be a liability if he doesn't get her smartened up. He hires Paul Verrall, played by William Holden, to educate Billie. As Paul teaches Billie, she becomes socially aware and thus a foe to Brock.

Reviews
"Holliday delights as she tosses off the malaprops that so aptly fit the character. Even though considerable amount of the dialog is unintelligible, its sound and her artful delivery smite the risibilities."—Varietyhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117789453.html?categoryid=31&cs=1"Fun and funny, with some fabulous verbal sparring."—Christopher Null, filmcritic.comhttp://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Born-Yesterday
