Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Lerner and Loewe's musical version of 'Pygmalion' about a Covent Garden flower girl who becomes a lady.
Genre: Musicals
Rating: G
Release Date: 8-DEC-1998
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com essential video:
Hollywood's legendary "woman's director," George Cukor (The Women, The Philadelphia Story), transformed Audrey Hepburn into street-urchin-turned-proper-lady Eliza Doolittle in this film version of the Lerner and Loewe musical. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady stars Rex Harrison as linguist Henry Higgins (Harrison also played the role, opposite Julie Andrews, on stage), who draws Eliza into a social experiment that works almost too well. The letterbox edition of this film on video certainly pays tribute to the pageantry of Cukor's set, but it also underscores a certain visual stiffness that can slow viewer enthusiasm just a tad. But it's really star wattage that keeps this film exciting, that and such great songs as "On the Street Where You Live" and "I Could Have Danced All Night." Actor Jeremy Brett, who gained a huge following later in life portraying Sherlock Holmes, is quite electric as Eliza's determined suitor. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Lovely
I like this as a classic musical. The songs fit well with the dialogue and story. The costumes are incredible. This has always been a favorite remake of Pygmalion set to music.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous movie
Absolutely beautiful. Rex Harrison steals the show. "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" Indeed.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Movie to Cherish
Years ago I saw the original Broadway stage version with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews. This film version is more complex, with more in-depth characterization, and is impeccably filmed with many imaginative and original touches. Audrey Hepburn was an attractive Liza, but her singing was done by Marnie Nixon, and her cockney speech at the very beginning of the movie was needlessly incomprehensible. It was a classic Hollywood mistake not to use Julie Andrews in the screen version.
Harrison is brilliant as Henry Higgins, and the supporting cast is first-rate. The musical numbers are well-structured with a flair and zest which shows George Cukor's taste and sensibilities. The movie deservedly won eight Oscars.
The widescreen, letter-box version I found annoying as I usually do. ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Among the Top-3 Best Hollywood Musicals of All Time!
This musical won 8 Oscars including Best Picture and it is richly deserving of the accolades. The cast is superb and the songs are all standards destined to be appreciated over the years. I've watched this film many times over the years and I never get tired of watching it and in fact I'm looking forward to the next screening. No fan of musicals should be without this dvd in their collection.

The dvd itself is also a treat as it has been restored pretty well. Picture quality-wise it isn't perfect but it's still very good given the state of the severely deteriorated original master and is still a lot better than many other "restored" older films that I've seen. Also widescreen format is the best way to view this film and this is the format in which it is presented here on this ... Read More
