About this product

Product Information

Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller star in Anthony Asquith's and Leslie Howard's classic version of George Bernard Shaw's satiric comedy. Henry Higgins (Howard) is an upper class phonetics professor who encounters low-class guttersnipe Eliza Doolittle (Hiller) and bets his friend Colonel Pickering (Scott Sunderland) that he can pass her off as a duchess within three months. Pickering accepts Higgins' bet, with Eliza readily agreeing to the proposal, since she will get to live in Higgins' fancy home. Once in Higgins' house, Eliza is subjected to intensely repetitive phonetics lessons in an effort to transform her Cockney accent into the speech of proper English. Things are a bit rocky at first, with Eliza blurting out Not bloody likely at a tea party. But when Eliza is presented at the Ambassador's Ball, she is not only accepted as a princess but is the talk of the ball, everyone in attendance commenting on her charm, beauty, and poise. Relishing his success, Higgins abruptly dismisses her. But Eliza has fallen in love with Higgins and is aghast at her cursory treatment by him. She tells him, I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me, I'm not fit to sell anything else. When Eliza leaves, Higgins realizes that he loves her too, but Eliza has announced to Higgins that she plans to marry high society playboy Freddie Eynsford-Hill (David Tree). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

  • Love Wendy Hiller

    This film was first released when I was 9 years old in 1938 I was introduced to Shaw as a young collegian in the late 1940's. Shaw's play, the written word, left an impression on me. I can't recall when I first saw the film but when I did, I fell in love, figuratively, with Wendy Hiller. Over the years I've viewed the film several times. Now., at 86, I've enjoyed it again. This CRITERION release is as good as it gets. This a wonderful film.

  • A classic film that was to be My Fair Lady in 1964

    This is a wonderful film with masterful acting by Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. Turned into the stage musical in the 1950’s and then into the movie extravaganza My Fair Lady in 1964 at great cost by Jack Warner. Paired this Dvd with the Musical dvd in my collection.
