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

I can never resist using "My Fair Lady" to teach G.B. Shaw's Pygmalion. The contrast between the biting satire in the original version and the lavish Hollywood production provides a plethora of opportunities for discussion. Naturally, however, when one shows a dated Hollywood musical to a class of today's high school students, one runs the risk of yawns, boredom, and little naps during the movie. But the songs and sets and silly jokes seem to worm their way into students' brains despite their efforts to be blase, and it always turns out for the best. It's worth the (long) time spent.My Fair Lady
