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.

I've recently added My Fair Lady to my list of favorite films!

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.

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.

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.

| Feb 9, 2022

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.

M.F.L. is too long and it ends with a whimper, but you'll still weep happily through it.

| Feb 9, 2022

The news about My Fair Lady is all good. On the screen as on the stage it remains a supreme entertainment.

| Feb 9, 2022

The film, though sometimes beautiful, seems a trifle embalmed, and the very measured pace at which it is taken (it runs nearly three hours) does not help either.

In the delicacy of George Cukor's direction and the playing of Miss Hepburn as Eliza and Rex Harrison as Prof. Higgins, I felt a more cutting poignancy, something closer to the original Pygmalion, than in the theater.

[The] film version of Lerner & Loewe's stage classic is one of the all-time great movies -- a must for any all-time "top 10." Or maybe even any top 5." The formula was simple, really. Don't tamper with the stage version. Film it faithfully.

| Feb 8, 2022

It's all sufficiently enjoyable too. One does go 'Ooh!' at the photography, and enough people probably go 'Ooh!' at the costumes.

Mr Alan Jay Lerner has done a brilliant screenplay from his own brilliant stage play.

One of those rare, rare occasions when everything goes right, when it keeps going right and it moves and takes the spectator along, enchanted and enthralled.

For those who've seen the stage show, My Fair Lady give complete satisfaction and those who will see and hear the musical for the first time will be enchanted by it.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 24, 2015

In this literal, beautiful, bountiful version of the most gilt-edged attraction in theater history, Jack Warner has miraculously managed to turn gold into gold.

| Feb 24, 2015

Despite all reservations expressed, I must make clear that his fantastically successful show has been converted into a generally entertaining film.
