		"My Fair Lady" is the best and most unlikely of musicals, during which I cannot decide if I am happier when the characters are talking or when they are singing.
		So notorious became this dubbing, so egregious was it made to appear, that although "My Fair Lady" was nominated for 12 Oscars and won eight (including best picture, actor, director and cinematography), Hepburn was not even nominated for best actress; Julie Andrews was, the same year, for "Mary Poppins," and she won.
		"My Fair Lady," with its dialogue drawn from Shaw, was trickier and more challenging than most other stage musicals; the dialogue not only incorporated Shavian theory, wit and ideology, but required Eliza to master a transition from Cockney to the Queen's English.

	My Fair Lady: Special Edition (1964)
		For example, the scene in which Eliza "debuts" at the horse races is terrific; although she has the mannerisms of a proper lady, she retains her streetwise notions in the topics she discusses and the way she forms her sentences.
		My Fair Lady appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Although she hits a fair number of flat notes and clearly wasn't a strong enough vocalist to carry the film, her performances aren't bad; they're simply mediocre, which isn't good enough for a big-budget production like this.

		Marni Nixon's singing in both THE KING AND I and WEST SIDE STORY sounded purer to me than did her work in MY FAIR LADY; I thought this was fine, but somewhat thinner and less rich (the voice may well have thinned a little by then).
		Still, she wouldn't have made the film unique: while it may or may not be a great film, it has managed to retain a one-of-a-kind quality, and is kept from being a mere facsimile.
		It really is Audrey Hepburn who makes MY FAIR LADY continue to "do its work." And in it we may have well seen the most gloriously ripe moment of her incredible beauty.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MY FAIR LADY
		For those unfamiliar with MY FAIR LADY, the film is the big screen adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe stage musical, which is in itself a reworking of George Bernard Shaw's PYGMALION.

		MY FAIR LADY is framed close to the film's original 2.20:1 theatrical aspect ratio, with no discernable compromises to the edges of the frame.

	My Fair Lady (1964) at Reel Classics
		Despite the fact that MY FAIR LADY was met with immediate critical acclaim and eventually became one of the most commercially successful plays in the history of international musical theatre, when Warner Bros. paid a record $5.5 million for the screen rights, it was by no means certain that the film's success was predestined.
		Warner Bros. paid Hepburn a flat salary of $1 million for her work on MY FAIR LADY, making her only the second actress in the history of Hollywood to receive a seven-figure sum for a single film.
		After some hesitation on the part of the producers, Rex Harrison was asked to reprise his Tony award-winning stage performance for the film, and the success of both the stage and screen versions of MY FAIR LADY made irascible phonetics professor Henry Higgins the most famous role of Harrison's long career.

		And the music, my and large, is sublime with its unforgettable melodies and brilliant lyrics.
		In My Fair Lady the gruff and rude Professor Higgins takes the Cockney, unsophisticated Eliza Doolittle and, for a bet, transforms her into a lady.
		In the process, romance springs up but, given their relationship (the harsh vs. the gentle), it's the kind where neither can state what they are feeling for fear of seeming to give in to the other.

		My Fair Lady tells the tale of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, who becomes the subject of a bet between pompous "phoeneticist" Professor 'Enry 'Iggins (Rex Harrison's Oscar-winning recreation of his stage role) and fellow linguist Colonel Pickering (Wilfred Hyde-White).
		My Fair Lady won eight Academy Awards in 1964, including Best Picture and Best Director, and it probably deserved most of them - though I'd have picked Mary Poppins as Best Picture if I'd been asked.
		My Fair Lady is lavish and lush in the best Hollywood tradition, with a terrific cast and great songs.

	London Theatre Guide Review My Fair Lady 2001
		My Fair Lady is a classic musical, based around George Bernard Shaw’s play ‘Pygmalion’, and remembered with nostalgia for its 1950’s stage production starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison.
		Trevor Nunn the director of “My Fair Lady” has attempted the revival of other popular musicals within the last few years of his career, and not always to great success.
		I suppose my only issue is really whether Riding has the innocence and youth to play Eliza genuinely opposite a younger Higgins, as she soon will — she seems perhaps 10 years too old for the part, and whilst Pryce’s seniority masks this, a younger Professor Higgins might draw unwanted attention to this fact.

	With a little bit of luck -- and more than a bit of talent -- 'My Fair Lady' has fared rather well for 50 years
		But "My Fair Lady" is so easy to love, so gracefully put together and so densely seasoned with Shaw's provocative wit that it's easy to overlook how significantly it changed the shape of musicals to come.
		But "My Fair Lady" broke the rules to which even Rodgers and Hammerstein adhered, and that prevented them from solving the "Pygmalion" puzzle.
		But the greatest achievement of "Lady" is its fidelity to Shaw's still popular "Pygmalion" (to be a featured attraction of Shakespeare Santa Cruz's 25th season).

		Audrey Hepburn is the perfect Eliza Doolittle, the cockney flowergirl who aspires to the voice and manners of a perfect lady.
		Rex Harrison (who created the role on Broadway) is totally convincing as the intellectual who sees a different project of fooling high society into accepting an "ungrateful, wicked girl" as one of their own.
		Watching Eliza's progress as she is taught to be a lady is a continual pleasure, as is watching the relationship between Higgins and his mother.
