There are several coincidences to the romantic comedy Pretty Woman (1990). Both movies contain a "morning after" scene (after the first time the two characters have sex) in which the woman sits at a dining table in a bathrobe, her foot on the chair so her leg is up against her body, eating breakfast foods with her hands instead of utensils. Both movies contain the Roy Orbison song "Pretty Woman" in significant scenes. In broader terms, "Pretty Woman" and all the versions of "A Star Is Born" are "Pygmalion" stories (after the eponymous George Bernard Shaw play)--plots in which a younger, more naive woman falls under the guiding influence of an older, more experienced man who helps her advance in life.
