	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Pygmalion
		Asquith’s film has often been overshadowed by Cukor’s, but the release of Pygmalion in a mostly fine DVD transfer (minimal speckles and grain) shows that it has its own interest and identity apart from the beloved musical version.
		Asquith’s faithfulness to Shaw pays off beautifully here, giving full play to the author’s counterpointing of Higgins’ complex mix of genius and juvenility with Eliza’s engaging blend of innocence and street-smarts.
		In spite of his fidelity to the play, Asquith can’t be accused of merely transferring Shaw’s original to celluloid with no cinematic intervention.

	Anthony Asquith
		What Asquith brought back from Hollywood was such a vision of Hollywood lighting as Hollywood hardly understood.
		Television is a central motif of this composition, and Asquith modulates toward its neutral application of light to prepare his great effects at the close.
		The game is played with tricks, ruses, feints and guises, such as the baronet’s American wife, the Canadian smelling out a fingerless villain (The 39 Steps), the terrible revelation of the hospital patient known only by his bed number, Fifteen, and the superb jockeying of Bogarde among his characterizations.

		Asquith himself famously described it as the bastard offspring of "an unholy liaison between the magic lantern and the novelette".
		Asquith's best-known films (The Way to the Stars, The Browning Version, The Winslow Boy, The Importance of Being Earnest, and so on) pop up regularly on television, but beyond acknowledging the "skill and stylistic polish" that he brought to these pictures, critics rarely give him much credit.
		Passionate about cinema since his student days, Asquith was steeped in the work of the Soviet masters, Pudovkin and Eisenstein, and of the German expressionist film-makers.

		With H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw and others, Asquith founded London's Film Society in 1925, and after a filmmaking apprenticeship in Hollywood, returned to England as a director in 1928.
		Along with Alfred Hitchcock, Asquith was considered a major force in the British cinema during the 1930s and 40s.
		Beginning with his directing debut, "Shooting Stars" (1928; co-directed with A.V. Bramble) which utilized experimental visual effects and "A Cottage on Dartmoor" (1929), a portrait of British life notable for its use of sound, he became recognized for his tasteful, restained and civilized quasi-documentary portraits of British life and manners....

		Rattigan was a meticulous composer of the "well-made play," and Anthony Asquith, who directed 10 films from Rattigan scripts over a quarter-century, was a reliable craftsman who never tried to upstage his material.
		This is the story of a stuffy, closed-off, empty man whose classroom is a claustrophobic trap for his students; Asquith knows that by opening up the film as little as possible, he can drive home the sterility and artifice of the man and the trapped feeling he inspires in others.
		Asquith's attention to the text and the actors also pays off with sterling performances from all involved, but with a truly startling and riveting turn from Michael Redgrave in the lead.

		With his superb film version of Shaw's "Pygmalion" (1938; co-directed with Leslie Howard), Asquith also began turning out expertly crafted theatrical adaptations, one of the finest of which is the delicious "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1952).
		From 1938 he began a profitable collaboration with playwright-screenwriter Terrence Rattigan, creating emotional studies of people under stress including, perhaps their finest joint work, "The Way to the Stars" (1945) as well as "The Winslow Boy" (1948), and "The Browning Version" (1950), and continuing through Asquith's last film, "The Yellow Rolls Royce" (1964).

		To hear her Wilde-ly hilarious inflections and elongated syllables is to witness British comedy in its purest form, fully deserving of the royal Criterion treatment.
		Of course, director Anthony Asquith is long gone (he died in 1968), but Criterion could and should have called on a film historian, or better yet, a member of the directors own family could have supplied an excellent commentary.
		Helena Bonham-Carter is not only a luminous actress, she is also Asquith's grand-niece, and it would have been nice to have approached her about the possibility of providing a commentary in this case; a current actresses thoughts and views of how this classic was presented two generations ago would have been priceless.

		Of course, it helps to have Oscar Wilde's beloved play as source material, but this exquisite adaptation has a charmed life of its own, with a perfectly matched director (Anthony Asquith was raised in the rarified, upper-class atmosphere of Wilde's play) and a once-in-a-lifetime cast.
		This bold 1938 production of George Bernard Shaw's famous play about a linguist who turns a Cockney flower peddler into a princess was codirected by Anthony Asquith (The Browning Version) and star Leslie Howard, who brings a calculated coldness to the character of Henry Higgins.
		There's no My Fair Lady sugarcoating here: Higgins is a brute using language as a weapon of class war and patriarchal subjugation of women.
