Over 50 years before Neil Young sang about a "Heart of Gold," Eugene O'Neill wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a prostitute who could make nuns weep with her pureness. If you liked this story when it was called Pretty Woman, then you're bound to love it when the dialogue is actually well written. But whereas Julia ends up with a millionaire, Anna lands a sailor. Some would say that love conquers all, others would call that a raw deal.
