‘My Fair Lady’ is a 1964 musical film from Warner Bros., adapted from the popular play of the same name. ‘My Fair Lady’ stars Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, and Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins. The film was very well received, winning eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.
The exquisite picture is extraordinary-and is a unique gem of filmmaking. The screenplay was written by Alan Jay Lerner and the movie was directed by George Cukor. Cukor and Lerner have not done the conventional treatment of a stage play made into a movie, i.e., erratically moving scenes outdoors for greater playing area, or into bigger settings than the stage could manage.
The film depicts Eliza’s transformation from a poor flower seller to a proper lady, as she takes speech lessons from Professor Higgins. In 1998, the American Film Institute named this movie the 91st greatest American film of all time.
