Have you ever been in that situation where you’re talking to
someone and you can’t stand their mannerisms, slang, or even how they speak or
pronounce certain words? Well, what if you could change that? What if you were
given an opportunity to change that person and everything about them? Well, a
man named Henry Higgins was given that chance when he was challenged by a colleague.
For six months he had to teach a filthy Cockney flower girl, with a horrendous
accent, into a lady.
Everything in this
film is basically dedicated to being classy. The songs and the jokes are clever
and brilliant, the gowns and wardrobe in this film are stunning, and the cast...
let’s just say these parts were made specifically for these actors and actresses
who played them. Only Rex Harrison could portray the character of Professor Henry
Higgins, with his cockiness that he uses in most of his films, he could make it
look like he was the actual Professor himself. Not to mention the queen of elegance herself
Audrey Hepburn who plays the ill speaking Eliza Doolittle. The Broadway musical
of “My Fair Lady” was released in 1956 and the film was released in 1964. The
movie and musical was based off of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion.
