Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Glamour & Gender in 'Pretty Woman' with Karina Longworth | Jews on Film
Daniel & Harry are joined by film writer and podcaster Karina Longworth of You Must Remember This to discuss Gary Marshall's 1990 film "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
They cover the transactional way Edward sees those in his life, trace the characters’ evolution across the film, imagine what a "Pretty Woman" streaming series would look like in 2023, and discuss Jason Alexander's depiction of Phil Stucky, a (negatively) coded Jewish character.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
