Pretty Woman (1990)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Starring: Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Jason Alexander, Hector Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy, Laura San Giacomo, Amy Yasbeck
Richard Gere (Edward) decides to become partners with the old guy instead of destroying his company. Edward offers Vivian a place to live in New York but she refuses, saying she doesn't want him when he has time, she wants "the fairy-tale". She moves back in with Kit and plans to moves to San Francisco to finish school. Edward comes to her apartment, climbs the fire escape and "rescues" her and they get together.

Edward: You can't charge me for directions.
Vivian: I can do anything I want, baby. I ain't lost.
Trivia: The scene where Edward offers Viv the necklace and shuts the box on her fingers wasn't scripted - Richard Gere did it as a joke. You can tell because when he does it, Julia Roberts laughs and looks up and around (ie. at the film crew) - in the context of the scene there wasn't anyone there for her to look at. (01:21:45)
Question: Is there any particular reason Julia Robert's dress was changed from the blue and white dress she wears at the beginning of the movie to a black and pink version of the same dress on the movie poster and film/disc cover? I've always wondered why - there's really no reason for the change.

Chosen answer: Posters are usually designed long after the film has been made, and by the marketing department. Decisions about the outfit may have been based solely on what was considered best by the marketing department (for instance, to match the color of the lettering in the title.) Also, Julia Roberts' head has been super-imposed onto a model's body in the poster image (just as Richard Gere's hair has been darkened). These are all creative marketing decisions.
