Born Yesterday

By Garson Kanin

Directed by Jim Chiolino

An uncouth, corrupt rich junk dealer, Harry Brock, brings his showgirl mistress, Billie Dawn, with him to Washington, D.C. When Billie's ignorance becomes a liability to Brock's business dealings, he hires a journalist, Paul Verrall, to educate his girlfriend. In the process of learning, Billie Dawn realizes how corrupt Harry is and begins interfering with his plans to bribe a Congressman into passing legislation that would allow Brock's business to make more money.

Timely exploration of corruption & resistance! Set immediately post-WW II.
