Movie Description
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.

Filmed at the Warner Bros. Studios.

One of the most expensive musicals ever, the estimated budget was $17 million.

Jack Warner reportedly paid $5.5 million to the Shaw estate for the rights to the musical; additionally, the owners of the stage property were to receive 47.5% of all proceeds after the first $20 million.

The Broadway musical MY FAIR LADY was staged by Moss Hart, produced by Herman Levin, and starred Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison, and Stanley Holloway.

Warner didn't want to cast Julie Andrews in the film because she wasn't known enough in the U.S. at the time.

Vincente Minelli was the studio's first choice for director.

MY FAIR LADY was named Best Film by the New York Film Critics and one of the 10 Best Films of the Year by the National Board of Review.

Marni Nixon, who dubbed Audrey Hepburn's singing voice, had previously dubbed Natalie Wood's singing voice in WEST SIDE STORY and Deborah Kerr's in THE KING AND I. Many speculated that Hepburn was passed over for an Academy Award nomination because she did not do her own singing.

The voice for Jeremy Brett, who played Freddie Eynsford-Hill, was supplied by Bill Shirley.

Dr. Peter Ladefoged from UCLA served as phonetics advisor.

Actor Wilfrid Hyde-White served as "Ascot" advisor.

Cecil Beaton's screen credit reads Costumes, Scenery, and Production Designer, which in actuality referred to his work for the stage version of MY FAIR LADY. For the film, he was responsible for Costumes, Makeup and Hair.

George Bernard Shaw's straight play PYGMALION was adapted for the screen in 1938, starring Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller.

      FROM 1912-A PLAY TO 1938-1ST FILMED TO 1964-8 OSCARS
    Review created: 05/17/07
    50 of 50 people found this review helpful.

    "My Fair Lady" (1964) was director George Cukor's film musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's (1912) play "Pygmalion." Cukor's movie won no less than 12 Academy Award nominations & ultimately 8 Oscars: Best Actor (Rex Harrison), Best Director (Cukor's only Oscar), Best Color Art Direction/Set Decoration, Best Color Costume Design (Cecil Beaton), Best Color Cinematography (in widescreen 70 mm), Best Picture, Best Score (Andre Previn), and Best Sound.

    In 1964, the competition was quite stiff since the Beatles' "Help" was a best picture nominee, & Julie Andrews was nominated Best Actress for her great leading performance in Disney's classic, "Mary Poppins." Andrews won the Oscar instead of Audrey Hepburn.

    "Pygmalion" was a Broadway success from 1956-1962. Shaw's plot wasn't exactly original! Ovid's "Metamorphoses" preceded Shaw's adaptation. Ovid's is about a man named Pygmalion who falls for an ivory statue of a beautiful woman.

    The non-musical form of the play from Shaw's screenplay was filmed in Britain in 1938 by co-directors Anthony Asquith & Leslie Howard. In one sentence, Shaw's story is about a Cockney flower vendor, Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), who is trained by a sexist bachelor linguistics professor, Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), to speak proper Queen's English within six months.

    Higgins is challenged to undertake Doolittle's transformation by accepting a bet by Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White). During Doolittle'speech lessons her drunkard father, a delightful character Alfred or Alfie to his friends (Stanley Holloway), repeatedly shows up looking for money & even tries to sell Higgins his daughter for 50 pounds!

    Higgins & Pickering hastily force Doolittle's first public appearance at the opening day Ascot Races. Even though she makes a miserable presentation, Doolittle gains the attention of an upper class born but poor, dashingly handsome young man, Freddie Eynsford-Hill (Jeremy Brett). Their distant romance begins.

    Doolittle, Higgins & Pickering wind up triumphant in high society after Doolittle's successful appearance where she is mistaken for a Hungarian Princess at the Embassy Ball. In brief, as the two sexist male gamblers congratulate each other for "their" success, Doolittle is so hurt she leaves in hurried anger after being changed.

    Again, not being a spoiler, I wouldn't dare reveal the ending.

    Lerner & Lowe's remarkably memorable tunes & (Rex Harrison spoken) lyrics consist of: "An Ordinary Man," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Get Me to the Church on Time," "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "Just You Wait," "On the Street Where You Live," "Show Me," "The Rain in Spain," "Why Can't A Woman," "Why Can't the English Learn to Speak?," "With a Little Bit of Luck," "Without You," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," and "You Did It, You Did It."

    Any feminist could ask the question of the film's ending, however, "Isn't Professor Henry Higgins the one who needs to be transformed?"

    There isn't alot that you can say about this film, I watched it as a Kid, I played in the High School as a Teenager, I own it on DVD as a Adult. This is a moderately funny Musical that I will keep in my collection along side my Grease! and Sounds of Music! Enjoy.
