MY FAIR LADY is now more “loverly” than ever with a breathtaking new restoration playing in cinemas nationwide for a limited time only. In honor of its 50th Anniversary, this eight time OSCAR winning musical has been restored frame-by-frame from the original 65mm negative and scanned utilizing start-of-the-art technology under the supervision of Robert Harris (the famed film historian).
MY FAIR LADY is a 1964 American musical film adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe eponymous stage musical based on the 1938 film adaptation of the original 1913 stage play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. With a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by George Cukor, the film depicts poor Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), who overhears arrogant phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) as he casually wagers that he could teach her to speak”proper” English, thereby making her presentable in the high society of Edwardian London.
“The best stage musical of all time and one of the most loved romances.” -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“In this literal, beautiful, bountiful version of the most gilt-edged attraction in theater history, Jack Warner has miraculously managed to turn gold into gold.” –TIME Magazine
