There have, over the years, been many film adaptations of the play Pygmalion. Of these, the most readily available, successful, and widespread, would be the musical My Fair Lady starring; Audrey Hepburn (Charades, How to Steal a Million, Sabrina etc.) , Rex Harrison (Dr. Doolittle and Cleopatra) and Jeremy Brett (Sherlock Holmes). The movie is a very cute musical, and very similar to the play, with only a few differences, such as the characters breaking out into song every few minutes. The only true difference in the movie, other than the music, is the party scene, and even then it is only the setting that changes, instead of the garden party taking place at Mrs. HIggins house, it takes place at the Ascot races. Other than that, the play and movie are very similar.

If you would like to see some clips from My Fair Lady please follow these links to youtube.com. Please note that I do not own these songs, nor am I the account owner. (Phew, necessary disclaimer over and out.”
