We don't change the formulas that work at M6. Barely finished our roommate with Cyril Lignac (All in the kitchen) and the jury of Top chef, as these programs have accompanied us since the start of confinement, the chain has decided to broadcast for the umpteenth time Pretty woman, Monday June 22. The opportunity to immerse yourself in the cult sequences of one of the classics of romantic comedy, carried by his duo Julia Roberts-Richard Gere, to immediate alchemy. And if movie aficionados know the soundtrack by heart and are always stunned by the famous kiss scene, they could have been completely turned upside down by the end originally planned by the producers.
From dramatic film to fairy tale
The initial story was based on a similar framework but its scenario was much darker than that which was carried out. The film had to be dramatic and tackle the themes of prostitution and drugs. Besides, Pretty woman should even be called 3000 with reference to the price of the main character, Vivian Ward, requested for his passes. The latter, divinely interpreted by Julia Roberts, escaped a terrible end since her character was to succumb to the consequences of an overdose, as explained by one of the producers, Jeffrey Katzenberg. This was before the project changed hands and landed in those of the Disney studios, which made it a modern fairy tale. "The character of Richard Gere kicked me out of his car by throwing tickets at me, then left before the end credits" confided Julia Roberts, suddenly propelled to the top of the poster. There is no doubt that the popularity rating of Pretty woman would not have been the same without this "happy ending" chivalrous.
