Becky Rachel McAdams is a hard-working morning TV show producer, or at least she was until she got fired. Desperate to get a job, she finally gets an interview with Jerry Jeff Goldblum - who is desperate to hire a producer for the struggling show "Daybreak". Becky accepts the job and it proves to be more difficult than even she might be able to handle.
She has to fire the sexist co-host, then try to convince egotistical news reporter, Mike Pomeroy Harrison Ford , to take the job, and then try and get him to actually do the job, properly. And she has to do this while falling for handsome Adam Patrick Wilson , and trying to save the show from plummeting ratings.
Will Becky be able to hold on to her dream job and her sanity? Rated PG for some sexual content including dialogue, language and brief drug references. Did you know Edit. Trivia Rachel McAdams initially was not keen on making the film - a comedy - as she felt she was unsuited to being funny. Director Roger Michell took her out for dinner several times to convince her otherwise. Goofs When Becky approaches Pomeroy on the hill, he fires two shots at some birds.
As the second shot goes off, it is seen that his finger is not on the trigger, but behind it. Actualy this type of double barrel shotgun has two triggers, one behind the other. When you take a good look you see that his finger is indeed behind the first one but also on the second trigger which is correct.

I just came from a screening of this movie. I went in thinking total chick flick and came away quite impressed. There is a love story but it doesn't take up the whole movie and get heavy with it. The movie more centers around an up and coming producer of a local TV morning show that ends up at the lowest rated nationally syndicated morning show.
Well worth the time and even better I got to go for free. Details Edit. Release date November 10, United States. United States. Official site. English Ukrainian. Un despertar glorioso. Cafe Formaggio, Old Country Rd. Bad Robot Goldcrest Pictures. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.
Runtime 1 hour 47 minutes. Eva, who had been cast by Joseph in a bit role in Blue Skies but had left the show before its premiere, drinks champagne and quickly becomes intoxicated. Made bold by drink, Eva flirts openly with Louis and performs two scenes from Shakespeare for him. While her performance moves Joseph, Louis remains dubious and distant.
The next morning, Joseph returns to Louis' and is stunned when Louis reveals that he slept with Eva but now wants to get rid of her. After Joseph confesses to Louis that he loves Eva, she leaves, unaware of either man's feelings toward her.
Several months later, Joseph's new show, which stars Rita, is about to open. Minutes before curtain, however, Rita confronts Louis with excessive contract demands, and Joseph insists that Eva, who has been cast in a bit part, take over the lead. After Eva gives a show-saving performance, Louis visits her in her dressing room, and although he pledges to guide her career, he refuses her love.
Joseph then confesses his love but is gently rejected by Eva. Alone with her maid, a fallen Broadway star whose career Robert compares to a "morning glory," a flower that blossoms bright but quickly fades, Eva reveals her sudden loneliness. As she gazes into her dressing room mirror, Eva nonetheless vows not to be afraid of turning into a morning glory herself. The film, however, makes no mention of Sheridan's religious affiliation. Production files indicate that the actors rehearsed for one week.
Modern sources note that director Lowell Sherman got RKO executives to agree to give him the one-week rehearsal period with the actors, in exchange for the brief eighteen-day shooting schedule. According to production files, a dream sequence in which Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Other scenes between Shakespeare's lovers were also shot, but none of the footage was used in the final film.
In a modern interview, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. An ad for the film boasted that Eastman "supersensitive panchromatic negative" film stock was used in the production. Hepburn won her first Best Actress Academy Award for her performance. As with her other nominations, Hepburn did not attend the Academy ceremonies.
Modern sources claim that, unlike most feature films, Morning Glory was shot in the same sequence as the script. Modern sources conflict concerning Hepburn's introduction to the script. One source states that Hepburn found the screenplay on producer Pandro Berman's desk and, after reading a bit, demanded to be cast in the lead, even though Berman had planned to cast Constance Bennett in the part.
Another source claims that Berman gave Akins' play to Hepburn's best friend, Laura Harding, to read with Hepburn already in mind. Harding then gave Hepburn the script with her strong recommendation. Akins, however, had modeled the Eva Lovelace role on her close friend, Tallulah Bankhead. When Hepburn was cast instead of Bankhead, she insisted that the play be re-written for her, with the sarcastic aspects of Eva's character excised.
One modern source speculates that Akins worked with screenwriter Howard J. Green on the re-write. In one modern interview, Hepburn says that she used Ruth Gordon as a model for some of the film's scenes. Modern sources credit Tommy Atkins as assistant director.
