The only problem I have with this DVD of "My Fair Lady" is that it is in letter-box format & it's too scrunched down for me to read the lips. Good thing I know the movie by heart PLUS it has "closed captioning". Other than that, my friend & I completely enjoyed the movie. It arrived SO QUICKLY & the price was SO affordable! I'll do all my Christmas shopping at Amazon!

I was disappointed because I thought I had a DVD, but missed the VHS on the item. It was cheap, so I got excited and bought it. When it came, I saw the box and knew why it was cheap. It was totally my fault, so can't blame the seller. I will be more careful next time. We don't own a VHS player, so it was a waste of money for me. I gave it to my church for a yard sale. It taught me a good lesson to pay attention.

They don't make movies like the "The King and I" anymore. This movie is one of the classics that we sit down with our kids and watch once a year or so.

The plot is a solid telling of extream culture clash, pride, and love... all wrapped up the some of the best music and dancing ever put on film ("Shall We Dance" is one of the most memorable things I have ever seen). The acting is top rate and the sets are fantastic.

Don't miss this one and share it with your kids, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We received it from NetFlix, she watched it 3x in a row! Bought it for a Christmas present. Gene Kelly is fabulous, and Donald O'Connor's athleticism and stamina in "Make 'Em Laugh" is amazing. Great song and dance numbers for any age.

Broadway was just a string of Variety shows until "South Pacific". Everything changed after that. This DVD is a wonderful experience.

This is a wonderful two-disc edition. I only owned this movie on two videos so you can just imagine the excitement I had getting all the extras that went with this! It is so worth owning and the price is wonderful for such a treasure. It gives great background and is most enjoyable to see all the kids in the movie as grown ups and to also hear Julie Andrews speaking with Christopher Plummer. A true winner!

A near perfect reproduction of the film. Would have liked a transfer from the Cinemascope 55 elements rather than just the Cinemascope. The Oklahoma disk offered a choice between the Todd AO and cinemascope versions. Todd AO is by far the best.

I did it. I bought a Disney movie -- I mean a kids-oriented one. And then... I actually showed it to my kids (first I watched it again, just to make sure).

This is so totally out of character for me, that it *does* deserve a gasp of surprise.

Because Disney. DISNEY! No positive male role-models DISNEY! Every male character is a fool, a tool, a slob, or a villain DISNEY! Forget about little boys, because only girls are celebrated DISNEY! And yes, I still think that is the case for Disney. And I wonder who all those little girls will grow up to marry, when all the boys are fools, tools, slobs, or villains.

But Julie Andrews. JULIE ANDREWS! Mary Poppins!

So I cracked. And I bought it.

And I had a few twinges on my view-through -- the put ... Read More

"Hello, Dolly!" is one of those huge-budgeted musicals made after the incredible success of "The Sound of Music." Lightning was reluctant to strike twice, however, and subsequent, bloated musicals like "Paint Your Wagon," "Dr. Dolittle," "Star" and "Darling Lili" tanked at the box office. "Hello, Dolly!" seemed a safe bet. It was based on a hit Broadway show, starred Barbra Streisand -- fresh from her Oscar-winning role in "Funny Girl" -- in the title role, had a score by Jerry Herman and a script by Ernest Lehman ("North By Northwest"), and was directed by Gene Kelly, a guy who knew his way around musical movies. Yet the result was an overly long dud with Streisand monumentally miscast. Dolly should have been played by an older actress. Streisand mugs unrestrainedly and her performance never convinces.

If you like old movies, this is a good one. The story is not that great but the dancing & singing are very good. You realize what a good singer Howard Keel is & I didn't even know Jane Wyatt cold sing, and she is very good.
