Actor: Audrey Hepburn. Lerner and Loewe's musical version of George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion'. Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), an expert in phonetics, accepts the challenge of transforming common cockney flowergirl Eliza Dolittle (Audrey Hepburn) into a lady through elocution lessons.

About this product

Product Information

A priceless classic, MY FAIR LADY has become one of the most popular musicals of all time. Based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play PYGMALION, the film swept the Academy Awards. Cecil Beaton's lavish sets and costumes and Lerner and Loewe's winning score became the background for George Cukor's striking mix of styles that ranged from the fantastic to the abstract in his telling of the tale of a waif who's educated into being a lady. Egotistical linguist Professor Henry Higgins (Oscar-winning Rex Harrison) bets his friend, Colonel Hugh Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), that he can transform Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) in time for an important society ball. His gamble could pay off--but the spirited Eliza is more of a handful than the Professor could have predicted. As she slowly becomes more refined, and less reliant upon him, Higgins realizes, to his confusion, that he can't live without her. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won eight, including Best Picture and Director.

  • It's amazing how much I missed the first time I saw this

    I don't know why I wasn't paying attention when I watched this many years ago. I was paying attention this time. It's extremely funny at times, funny enough that I had to stop watching because I was laughing so much. All the characters have something interesting to say. Maybe the music is a little bland, but the lyrics are constantly fresh and entertaining. You can still see the Bernard Shaw flavour in it.

  • Amazing Musical

    I love this film. Audrey Hepburn is one of the most amazing actresses to ever grace the screen and in this film she is as amazing as ever. She has some fantastic lines and is funny, sassy and makes you tearful all at the right moments. Another amazing musical classic that I highly Recommend to anyone.
