In this beloved musical, pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) is so sure of his abilities that he takes it upon himself to transform a Cockney working-class girl into someone who can pass for a cultured member of high society. His subject turns out to be the lovely Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), who agrees to speech lessons to improve her job prospects. Higgins and Eliza clash, then form an unlikely bond -- one that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor (Jeremy Brett).

Claudia Cassidy Chicago Tribune What an enchanting picture My Fair Lady turns out to be. Awash with color and sound, it does for the wide screen what the original in its pristine state did for the musical stage. Feb 9, 2022 Full Review Marjory Adams Boston Globe Of course what everyone wants to know first is, does Audrey Hepburn make a glowing, lovely Eliza as did her predecessor, Julie Andrews? She does. Feb 9, 2022 Full Review Carol Stamy Orlando Sentinel I've recently added My Fair Lady to my list of favorite films! Feb 9, 2022 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily Audrey Hepburn is terrific, and Rex Harrison is incomparable. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) My Fair Lady persists in being extraordinarily enjoyable; and George Cukor, faced with a huge complex of comedy, music, décor, stars and prestige, has on the whole managed to keep in control. Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Felix Barker Liverpool Echo Hollywood has done right by our Eliza. With My Fair Lady, they have produced a film which has success clearly stamped on every foot of celluloid.
