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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic experience finally seeing this on the big screen! My only gripe was with Fathom Events presenting it in 2.39:1 rather than its full 2.2:1 aspect ratio
