Audrey Hepburn who? No one can top Wendy Hiller's Eliza Doolittle. One of the finest performances in cinema.

One of the best films I've ever seen. I really love Howard's acting and his professor Higgins is a devilish, terrifying and totally amusing figure. This original version depicts better the real gap in British society and underlines that both Eliza and Higgins are two outsiders. w Leopardi

A classic with great performances by the whole cast. The satiric perfume of the play against the hypocrisy of the Britiish upper-class is a lot more present in this version than in the Cukor's sweetened version. No wonder if one knows that George Bernard Shaw wrote himself the adaptation of his play in 1938. Recommended.

My Fair Lady without Hepburn, Harrison, and the music. Yeah there's still some good stuff here but even though it was made before Cukor's lush masterpiece I can't help but feel cheated.

A simple, but classic story fueled by sharp wit, a great sense of humor, and a massive heart. Really the shining example of a 'charming' film.
