MY FAIR LADY
Audrey Hepburn is Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flower girl who becomes the project of snobbish linguistics professor Henry Higgins (Academy Award®-winning Rex Harrison), a "confirmed old bachelor" who wagers that he can transform her into a polished lady in six months’ time — but doesn’t count on falling in love with her in the process. Hepburn replaced Julie Andrews from the Broadway smash musical (Andrews instead starred in the screen version of MARY POPPINS that year and won the Academy Award®). Featuring classic songs such as "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Get Me to the Church on Time," the film was nominated for 12 Academy Awards® and won eight, including Best Picture and Best Director for George Cukor, winning on his fifth and final nomination. DIR George Cukor; SCR Alan Jay Lerner, from his stage musical and the play “Pygmalion” by George Bernard Shaw; PROD Jack L. Warner. U.S., 1964, color, 170 min. RATED G
