The movies Pretty Woman (1990) starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and the movie, Now Voyager (1942) starring Bette Davis and Paul Henreid, are completely different films. The two movies even though they are different there are correlations between the two. For example, they both have strong female roles but both women in each movie are completely different. So which movie has the better female role for young women? The movie Pretty Woman is about a businessman who hires a “prostitute” for business social events. While at an upscale party held by Edwards partner Philip Stuckey, Edward cuts loose in Stuckey 's Lotus. He gets lost and stops
While Vivienne chats to David Morse, the grandson of the man involved in Edward 's latest deal, Philip is worried she is a spy.

In Canada, prostitution is still considered legal which I do not agree with but here is what the University of British Colombia had to say: “Potential changes to these laws raise questions about Canadians ‘opinions with respect to prostitution and its legal status. Prostitution is technically legal in Canada; however, several laws make it difficult to engage in prostitution without breaking the law” (Morton, Heather Klein, Carolin Gorzalka, Boris B., "Attitudes, Beliefs, and Knowledge of Prostitution and the Law in Canada", 2012, pp. 229-244). Therefore, even though it is technically legal it sounds like they are trying to put an end to prostitution. I know the United States has a big problem with using young girls for sex and even though I know it is illegal people still get away with it
