MY FAIR LADY |
MUSICAL FILM (1964) Warner Brothers starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison with Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Gladys Cooper, Jeremy Brett, and Theodore Bikel Music: Frederick Loewe Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner Produced by Jack L. Warner Directed by George Cukor |
By George, they've got it! This film version of Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady is lavish, loverly, and the acclaimed recipient of eight Academy Awards (including 'Best Picture' and 'Best Director'). Rex Harrison reprises his signature stage role of Henry Higgins, the supremely assured phoeneticist who wagers that under his tutelage, cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle can pass for a duchess at the Embassy Ball. In one of her best-loved roles, Audrey Hepburn plays Eliza. If ever there was a face the professor could grow accustomed to, it's hers. In Hartford, Heresford and Hampshire (and elsewhere) no one's fairer than My Fair Lady, one of the most irresistible musicals ever. The brilliant soundtrack includes such classic songs as "Why Can't the English", "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "On The Street Where You Live". |
