In Pretty Woman, there is a very short shot of an office building with a large red, metal, modern sculpture in front of it. It seems like several arches in a public square. This shot is right before we find out about the source of Morris's money and right after Julia Roberts returns from her (now successful) shopping trip. One can make out a 333 on the front of the office building. My question is: which building is this? I _think_ it's in NYC, and I wanted to confirm this. Thanks! |

The building is the ARCO Plaza in Los Angeles (also known as the Bank of America Plaza). "ARCO Plaza... 333 South Hope St Los Angeles, CA US, 90071 In 1972 ARCO commissioned AC Martin Powers to design these twin towers - 52 stories of serious gray. The building houses the ARCO headquarters as well as one of the Bank of America offices. Outside on the plaza is a red helical sculpture called Double Ascension by Herbert Bayer. Underground there are seven acres of shopping and eating establishments, a church, a fitness center and a post office. It is indeed a mini-city." wGuides: Los Angeles http://www.wguides.com/city/44/150_59450.cfm "ARCO Plaza... walk around its gardens, as this is where Julia Roberts read a book with Richard Gere in 'Pretty Woman' and the building is where his business deals took place (recognize the red, metal sculpture in the front?)."

Another enticingly misleading subject: "Pretty woman shot?" Subject just had to be about a lesser known mystery film; Arsenic asking, Pinky - as always :-) - answering. Wrong shot, right answer! |

Myoarin, I had the same misconception based on the ambiguous title. I was expecting a question about somebody trying to assassinate Julia Roberts. This reminds me of a newspaper headline in the "Tulsa Tribune" many years ago, when a short movie about Wild Bill Hickok was filmed in a small town in my area. The newspaper story was titled "WILD BILL HICKOK TO BE SHOT IN SAPULPA." My daddy looked at this headline and said "Hey, didn't they already get him in Deadwood?" |
