BOLOGNA – “Who am I not to see the 32nd Rai rerun of Pretty woman?”. The success of this iconic film directed by Garry Marshall, with a very young and beautiful Julia Roberts and the unforgettable Richard Gere who falls in love with her, seems timeless. The film, 1 hour and 59 minutes, is dated 1990, which means it is 34 years old. But it clearly remains a fascinating film beyond time. Just as a killer soundtrack and the couple formed by the two protagonists are in the hearts of many: she was 23 years old, he was 41 and they were great together. Last night Rai Uno broadcast the film for the 32nd time (the first viewing aired on 13 April 1992), but a sea of comments, gags and memes have multiplied on social media. Which led #Prettywoman to become the leader among the X hashtags.
There are those who post the top scenes (from that of Julia Roberts in the bathtub to the ‘revenge’ against the shop assistant who had kicked her out of the shop), those who point out some ‘mistakes’in the stitching together of the scenes (a pancake that is nibbled in the first scene and then returns half-new in the next and Richard Gere in the park without socks and then with socks again), those who succumb to the >”disarming beauty” by Julia Roberts: “The eighth wonder of the world”.

And as always when they broadcast the film, let’s focus on the most successful improvisation in cinema, the funniest off-script that not even Richard Gere, the author of the joke, managed to contain his laughter (as can be seen very well from his reaction)#PrettyWoman pic.twitter.com/uLXqdczFYI
