My Fair LadyHey! Heres a hint...it's a musical. That is why it has songs. A huge and beautiful production with Audrey Hepburn as one of the stars. Best seen on the big screen. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyInteresting plot. Some very nice music (not all songs, though, some I skip over, I admit). But "I could have danced all night", "Send me to the church in time", "With a little bit of luck", "Ascott" are very nice, I listen to them very often. Eliza is very funny. The scene at the race, for instance, is hillarious. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyOne of my favorite musicals of all time, and the film version was excellent. Audrey Hepburn did a wonderful job as Eliza Doolittle, and Rex Harrison WAS Henry Higgins, through and through. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyOne of the most overrated pictures of all time. A bland and flimsy retelling of the second-rate GB Shaw chestnut, featuring two non-singers in the lead roles. That's two strikes against you right off the bat. The score is ho-hum, the plot ludicrous, the acting only passable, and I can't remember the dancing in this film as it was positively unmemorable. Anytime you have your leads talking through their songs (or having Marnie Nixon ghost-singing your part for you), you don't have a musical: you have Recitation Hour with Wallpaper Music attached. Rex Harrison always looks like he's about to pass gas, or just did. And Audrey Hepburn is about as appealling, convincing and attractive as Newt Gingrich. The production values of this big-budget flick are quite good, however, if the art direction and costume design are carrying the show, you don't have much of a show.

My Fair LadyAlthough the movie is nearly devoid of objectionable content (aside from the occasional profanity), there are two things that absolutely destroy the movie. First, the songs are extremely grating and annoying. Second, the sexism in this production is outrageous. No more is this obvious than the shockingly-inappropirate ending. The ending is completely different than the short story, "Pygmmalion," that this 1964 movie is based on. I just can't recommend this production. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyRex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn are perfect in their roles as Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, but the songs certainly drag the movie down. A lot of them are a bore to listen to but a couple are pretty good. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyAn excellent and endearing musical, it's a very sweet story. I personally don't go for "chick flicks" (I'd imagine this would fall under that category), but I still enjoyed it. The scene at the horse race was definately my favorite. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyA great movie. Audrey Hepburn was good as Eliza Doolittle a flower girl who meets Henry Higgins a prefessor of language. Higgins boasts he could even teach a "flower girl" to act and speak proper. Eliza ends up staying with Higgins while he teaches her to speak and be a proper lady.Rex harrison is also good as the arrogant Higgins. Who by the end of the movie has grown to care for Eliza. Lots of good songs. Just a charming story that came from the Book Pygmalion. The scene at the horse race was especially cute. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyI must've seen this movie over 100 tiumes. It was my favorite movie as a child, and remains my favorite to this day. Audrey is amazing in this movie. Who would've thought that someone as classy and flawless as Audrey would make such a great Eliza Doolittle? As much as I love Julie Andrews, I think Audrey was perfect for the screen version of this classic. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyRex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn were excellent. It had its fair share of funny moments. The songs "You Did It" and "Just You Wait" were pretty lousy, however. This one's not as timeless as some others, however. And why didn't Julie Andrews (not that I have anything against Audrey Hepburn, besides the fact that she didn't sing), as Eliza in the film? She was famous for the role on stage, I just never heard why she wasn't in the movie. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyMy Fair Lady is a wonderful musical! It is just filled with wit and charm. Audrey Hepburn was great for the role of Eliza Doolittle even though her voice was dubbed. Rex Harrison is awesome as Professor Higgins too! You can't really tell that Audrey's voice is dubbed anyway. The ending is a little annoying because it seems that Eliza is being weak to return to Higgins. I think that she loves him though and just wants things to be resolved between him and her. There is nothing wrong with that. I always end up feeling that they will get together after they discuss things a little more though. After all My Fair lady is different from Pygmalion:) Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyI don't care if they did dub in another singer, Audrey Hepburn was the perfect choice and wonderful as Liza. I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better Henry Higgins than Rex Harrison either. The music is also great fun. One of the last of the big budget, costume musicals is also one of the best.

My Fair LadyAudrey Hepburn is my idol. This is a 6 star movie. Everything about it is fabulous. Rex Harrison was made for the part, as was Audrey. I'm upset that the movie didn't win an oscar. I don't think that Julie Andrews was as good as Audrey Hepburn. The best movie! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyI liked the plot of how a man tried to make a poor woman into an elegant person. It proves that anyone can become anything they want, if you try. The romance plot didn't hurt it either. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyI love Audrey Hepburn and I love old movies. And accents. If you like all that, it's a good movie. The music is typical of a musical, Audrey is stunning. It's got sparks of humor, but the end pisses me off. Weak female, boo! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyI really enjoyed "My Fair Lady." Audrey Hepburn was definitely an asset to the movie. Her grace and elegance graced the screen. This is a movie that you can share with a family or a special someone. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair LadyJust to start this comment off, I'd like to say that I absolutely LOVE Audrey Hepburn. Once again she had an amazing performance. My Fair Lady is an older film that is a blend of romance, comedy and a little bit of drama. It is a very long movie, 2 movies, in fact, but it goes really quick because it's such an enjoyable movie. To really give you an understanding of how much I liked it. I saw this movie in the 6th grade even and I felt this way aobut it then also. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

My Fair Lady
One of the best musical in my opinion. Not only there were lots of good songs, excellent singings, incredible acting by some talented actors, the story itself was quite sexist but I think the point was not to tell the moral of the story, but to portray the way the English culture was really like in the 60's. Lots of good humor througout that the typical Hollywood movies are missing now a day.
