You can watch Born Yesterday (1993) for free on Hoopla.

A rich millionaire hires a sophisticated journalist to bring his somewhat dim-witted girlfriend up to the level of his peers. He fears that the showgirl's lack of etiquette may damage his own social reputation and tries to change her — but fails to realise that her enhanced eloquence will empower her to voice her own strong opinions.

This screwball comedy trades cynical bite for a bright, unapologetic charm that celebrates intellectual awakening. Watching a simple showgirl weaponize her newfound vocabulary against her controlling benefactor turns a standard makeover trope into a sharp victory for self-respect.
