Later adapted as My Fair Lady George Bernard Shaw's wonderfuI comedy of manners is given its finest screen outing in this 1938 production. Nominated for four Oscars, Shaw himself was one of the recipients of the award for best screenplay. Snobbish Professor Higgins has a wager with his friend CoIonel Pickering that with the right instruction he can pass off cockney gutter-snipe Eliza DoolittIe as a lady among high society. Taken under his wing Eliza is given rigorous coaching in elocution and manners in preparation for the uItimate test, her appearance at an ambassador s reception. |
