My Fair Lady: 40th Anniversary (2 Disc)

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).

Critic Reviews:

• " It's all sufficiently enjoyable too. One does go ‘Ooh!’ at the photography, and enough people probably go ‘Ooh!’ at the costumes. " – J.H. Fenwick

• " Mr Alan Jay Lerner has done a brilliant screenplay from his own brilliant stage play. " – Alistair Cooke

• " One of those rare, rare occasions when everything goes right, when it keeps going right and it moves and takes the spectator along, enchanted and enthralled. " – James Powers
