George Cukor was an acclaimed American filmmaker active between 1930 and 1981. He specialized in romantic comedies and literary adaptations, directing classics like Little Women, A Star is Born, The Philadelphia Story, and My Fair Lady. He was especially known for having women-centered stories at a time when they were not common on the big screen.
Garbo was one of the defining stars of the early Golden Age, and Camille is generally considered to be her best performance. She poignantly captures the character's vulnerability and entrapment in the social structures of her time, rightly earning a Best Actress Oscar nod for her efforts. Much credit must also go to Cukor, who shoots Garbo well, making her look like a veritable screen goddess.
The script nimbly dances around the censorship of the time, hinting more than showing. Although Born Yesterday's plot drags at times, the dialogue and performances more than compensate. Holliday infamously won the Best Actress Oscar for her work here, beating out legends like Gloria Swanson and Bette Davis. Born Yesterday really takes off in the third act, as Billie's transformation leads to riveting confrontations, most notably a mesmerizing argument between her and Brock.
Notably, not a single male character appears on-screen, hence the title. The men linger just out of frame; the women are the stars. This approach was striking for 1939, even if Cukor doesn't necessarily explore this premise to the max. For example, some commentators lament the fact that the characters still frequently discuss men.
