My Fair Lady Reviews
Audrey Hepburn is terrific, and Rex Harrison is incomparable.

My Fair Lady persists in being extraordinarily enjoyable; and George Cukor, faced with a huge complex of comedy, music, décor, stars and prestige, has on the whole managed to keep in control.

Hollywood has done right by our Eliza. With My Fair Lady, they have produced a film which has success clearly stamped on every foot of celluloid.

What an enchanting picture My Fair Lady turns out to be. Awash with color and sound, it does for the wide screen what the original in its pristine state did for the musical stage.

Of course what everyone wants to know first is, does Audrey Hepburn make a glowing, lovely Eliza as did her predecessor, Julie Andrews? She does.

Hail to My Fair Lady. Long may she reign, and may she find place on one of Prof. Higgins's towering bookshelves for the Oscar she will undoubtedly win.

The truth of the matter is that, given a good production, My Fair Lady is impossible not to like; and the film is not simply a "good production." It is an exceedingly wise and resourceful transformation of a magnificent stage show to the screen.

Two outstanding stars of the original, Rex Harrison, as Professor Henry Higgins, and Stanley Holloway, as the dust-man philosopher, Alfred Doolittle, repeat their roles with even greater persuasion.

Just get yourself a ticket, for this is as nearly perfect a movie as Hollywood has ever crafted.

Good as are Holloway, Bikel, Jeremy Brett as a suitor; Gladys Cooper as Rex's mother; Hyde-White and others, the film is a joint personal triumph for Harrison and Audrey Hepburn.

By George, they've got it!

It's not that there's anything really wrong with My Fair Lady. It's just that it could have been so much better.

We are moved at the end in a profoundly romantic way, thanks in equal part to Mr. Loewe, Mr. Leaner and the incomparable Rex.

Audrey Hepburn was robbed... From the opening scene, [she] shows time and again why she should have been nominated for an Academy Award as best actress of the year.

Having seen the original Broadway production eight years ago, Warner Brothers' multi-million dollar transference in Technicolor to the Super Panavision 70 screen is worth every nickel spent.

There is still a magnificent assurance in all Mr. Harrison does, understandable after so many years of doing it... The actor's easeful, artful professionalism is hard to beat.

When her heart is broken by Higgins’s boorish indifference to her triumph, [Hepburn] acts with a poignancy that gives Bernard Shaw’s play even more of its due on the screen than it got in the stage musical.

The all-embracing and widely roaming camera fills in events only implied in the dialogue of the stage model... My Fair Lady thus gains a new completeness, adding body to its recognized brilliance for a total impact rare in entertainment.

My Fair Lady, of course, is a perfect assemblage of many perfect parts.
