Line 7:
''Pretty Woman'' was initially intended to be a dark drama about prostitution in Los Angeles, but was reconceptualized into a romantic comedy. Today it is one of the most financially successful romantic comedies ever, with an estimated gross of 464 million US$ (adjusted for inflation). The film was followed by a string of similar romantic comedies, including ''[[Runaway Bride]]'', which teamed up Gere and Roberts under the direction of Garry Marshall once again.
