My Fair Lady

Very rarely do we get to see movies that remain with us..long after we've watched them.And My Fair Lady  belongs to that rare breed....infact it goes further,it stays as a beautiful memory that we would cherish.Starring Audrey Hepburn,who dazzles in the title role of Cockney accented flower girl from the 'gutter' Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison doing wonders as the stern, Phonetics expert Professor Henry Higgins...this movie is a Masterpiece in the true sense of the Word.Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' and based on the Broadway play,with Julie Andrews singing the songs that captured a milion hearts,this movie deservedly won 8 Academy Awards.
                      The sarcastic British humour of Prof.Higgins and Eliza's transformation from a 'gutter girl ' who cant open her mouth to save her life, to an upper class British Lady,well-versed with the elegant usage of the English language are easily the best parts of the movie.The music is the best you would ever hear.And believe me,by the time this movie's done..you would pronounce English the way it should be('as in 'The rain in spain stays mainly in the plain)!You wouldnt drop your h's(try this,'In Hartford,Hereford and Hampshire,hurricanes hardly ever happen!) and you would stress where needed(as in' How kind of you to let me come!').As a whole,the film is a wonderful classic...and if such films were shown ,they would help cultivate the proper speaking of English...and..."Wouldn't it be lovely?";)
