Melanie Griffith stars as Billie Dawn, a Las Vegas showgirl whose lack of sophistication embarrasses her Washington, D.C., millionaire boyfriend (John Goodman). He, in turn, hires a handsome and well-educated journalist (Don Johnson) to help smarten her up. In no time at all, the millionaire gets much more than he bargains for! And as Billie blossoms into an independent thinker, sparks fly as she uses her learning to turn the nation's capital upside down! (official distributor synopsis)

It's moderately entertaining, featuring decent characters portrayed by excellent actors, especially John Goodman, a personal favorite. However, it remains just a remake. The 1950 version is much funnier, largely due to Judy Holliday's captivating performance. Melanie Griffith, in contrast, didn't quite appeal to me in this role.
