Product Description PROFESSOR HENRY HIGGINS BETS HE CAN REFINE COCKNEY ELIZA DOOLITTLE.
Amazon.com 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

| Customer Reviews: fast service July 25, 2010 buyer The DVD was in excellent shape. Brand new. No scratches. Arrived within a few days of order.
Damon Medic Reviews "My Fair Lady" July 5, 2010 Damon B. Medic (california) Damon Medic says, "If you have yet to see "My Fair Lady", you need to buy it now and watch it! You'll need to own it because you will want to watch it again and again and again! Audrey Hepburn is absolutely fantastic as Eliza Doolittle, and Rex Harrison shines as Professor Higgins, an expert linguist who transforms Eliza from an ordinary "flower girl" into a stunningly beautiful "Duchess." The relationship that exists between Higgins and Doolittle is disgraceful, overbearing and romantic all at the same time. This is a requirement for all movie libraries. They don't make movies like this anymore...Now, where the devil are my slippers?
---Damon Medic
Classic in every sense June 29, 2010 Mike in Seattle This is the kind of movie that you'll long remember for the strong characters and catchy tunes. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn are simply great and the supporting cast perfectly placed. This is a story you'll want to come back to often so it's worth owning.
my fair lady dvd June 24, 2010 Sara J. Andreason (SPRINGFIELD, OREGON, US) The Dvd arrived in good condition, the dvd case did not have any plastic wrapping (was in used condition however) but the actual Dvd was in very good condition. The shipping was very slow, longer than was stated in discription. Overall a very good experience.
