My Fair Lady (Includes Previously Unavailable Music) - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Glamorous, Romantic, Enchanting
Disadvantages: None

...My Fair Lady, a mammoth musical extravaganza, was produced by Warner Brothers in 1964, in 70mm wide screen. The story was adapted from Pygmalion (1912), a play by George Bernard Shaw. Director George Cukor has presented a sumptuous, dazzling and delightful musical romantic comedy with enchanting and cheerful songs. It had won eight Academy Awards. This classic was restored in 1994, to its original charms and the sound track changed to digital.

Advantages: Very Good Story line
Disadvantages: maybe a few too many songs

...Before I watched My Fair Lady I studied the play Pygmalion, which it is based on at school. I the main story line focuses on how the main character Eliza Doolittle changes from a cockney flower girl in Covent Garden to a middle class lady. I think Audrey Hepburn plays the part of Eliza Doolitlle very effectively. I think George Bernerd Shaw is one Britains greastest play writes and Pygmalion is a wonderful play which focuses on morality, social class and the english language. I think the storyline of Pygmalion is wonderful and that is why so many more recent films are based on it. In his play Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw portrays to the audience his opinion on a number of different themes including social class and money, morality and the English language. Shaw uses Eliza Doolittle, the main character in Pygmalion to convey his... Read review
