"Born Yesterday" (1950) starring Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford and William Holden. Its on TCM now and I'm reminded again of how good this movie is. Crawford plays the gruff rich guy who hires William Holden to tutor Holliday, the quintessential dumb chorus line blonde. Its an hilarious movie and MUCH MUCH better than the remake with John Goodman and Melanie Griffith.
"Sopranos" fans will recognize this as the movie referred to by the screen writer that Chris kills.

The superb cast speaks wonderful, taut dialogue and the sense of foreboding builds to a great climax.
Excellent movie and I highly recommend it. (This was my first time seeing it).
