On the street where you live.

Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), who specializes in the English language, makes a bet with Colonel Hugh Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White) that he can take someone who speaks with a lower-class accent and, by correcting the speech, can pass off as upper-class or royalty. Overhearing this bet is a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn); she wants to work at a flower stand. But they will not take her unless she can speak more “genteel.” Professor Higgins takes up the challenge. Will he succeed? What does Eliza Doolittle’s father (Stanley Holloway) think when, finds that she has moved in with the two professors and does not want any clothes sent to her? This is a musical version of the movie “Pygmalion” (1938), based on a play by George Bernard Shaw. People find that music and movies evoke memories of the times when they experienced them. His movie has a special meaning to me because I was also in love and found myself singing “On the Street Where You Live.” One of the strengths of the movie is that many of the songs, instead of being classical and randomly placed, are songs you might actually play in your life, and they reflect that in the lives of the characters. I am sure that technology, as Blu-ray, will try to improve on this film. Also, I suspect there will be other DVD extras. Yet no matter which product you buy, you will be satisfied with this film.

Classic& iconic film

This is a wonderful Hollywood classic filmed in the elaborate studios&sets entirely and Audrey Hepburn is so gorgeous. RexHarrison as her mentor(which she falls in love)is superb. The costumes&set are wonderfully done,great musical that has held its own for many years & is still one of the greats.
