ReviewsNew York Times - ...Glorious....Features [Beaton's] astounding costumes, [Cukor's] stately direction, the best-loved, most hummable of all Broadway scores and a sublime cast headed by [Harrison and Hepburn]...
Additional InformationA 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.

  • Content...superb...discs...not so!

    This is not a review of the movie but of the actual BD media. Both the BD and the UHD BD disks in this set were faulty. The third BD information disk was satisfactory. The problem was with the audio stream, which suffered from dropouts and lip-synch issues. The video was excellent! It's difficult to rate this, as the content is perfection itself. I saw the original in 1964, the year of release, and time has only improved it...if you can improve on perfection...but the technical issues must be reported, otherwise of course, it would be 5 stars.

  • 4k makeover enhances a classic

    This is a nice makeover of a classic movie, the picture is crisp and clear, and the sound is very good. In my opinion the HDR ocaisionally looked a little too yellow particularly on Eliza's father's face. But that is my only criticism on a very enjoyable and entertaining film.
