QuickView
Story-line: Professor Henry Higgins bets he can turn a cockney flower girl named Eliza Doolittle into a sophisticate.
Pluses: wondrous acting, enduring show songs, fine direction and excellent production values.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: for a long while, I avoided old classic films on the pretense that they were ‘old’ but I later realized why they are called ‘classics’. Who could resist such humour, intelligence and indestructible music presented in a glorious and colourful package? No one, of course… which is why the Academy awarded MY FAIR LADY a Best Film and a Best Actor Oscar in 1964. Come on, Dover!
