Utterly delightful !!!
One of the greatest films ever made - fullstop - By: Mist of Time, 17 Aug 2007 Ok, I'll carry on. If you try hard you can pick some faults with this / the musical version of Pygmalion in the ending (a bit naff in the film, though a good moment for the actors) & yes the whole plot is slightly far fetched. Now go back in time to when George Bernard Shaw wrote the play, & he too had various endings in mind; on its opening night people wanted to cancel it for profanity (the horse race scene). Even so it is a magnificent story of class divide, pretension & London poverty whisked with a liberal dose of chirpy, cockney spirit polished up a treat in the film.
The sets are wonderful, Audrey Hepburn is divine (ok it was Julie Andrews on Broadway who wanted the part, & Audrey didn't do the singing), the costumes are lavish, the music full bodied.
I don't particularly like Rex Harrison, though he is good for this role, Wilfred Hyde White is good & we have a huge performance in Alfred Dolittle.
If you've never seen it & like a bit of musical then the price makes this a no-brainer, if you have seen it you must know how good this is - go on get a copy!
Luverley with the Hepburn vocals - By: Anthony Whitfield, 29 Jul 2007 
Like other people, I saw this film on broadcast tv with a not so brilliant copy, & on VHS. Although this has been 'restored', I feel the people involved nodded off during the process. There are literallly hundreds of damaged frames left in, some very bad. There's nothing left in that could not have been repaired. Having said that, the film is as enjoyable as ever, & if you don't like musicals, (I do not) zap the songs. The film works as well without them, but listening to Audrey Hepburns' own vocals reveals to me that they should NOT have dubbed the film. As a musician I can hear that the vocal isn't perfect, but she's a poor flower girl. In Hollywood today, it probably would not happen, but in the 1960's that is what happened to many actors. Hepburns' accent isn't half bad, let us not forget she was not an American doing a Dick Van Dyke! Almost alll of the actors give great performances, spot the one dodgy accent if you can.(It's none of the main players)
The musical comedy interesting to watch, listen and laugh - By: Aurimas Nauseda, 24 Jul 2007 Well, I am happy I bought this musical from Amazon.co.uk.
It is one of my favourite ones.
"My fair lady" is interesting to watch & laugh many times because of funny events, also think about the nature of bachelor's days & changes...
The music is great fun to listen to & sing from time to time on the sunny side of the street...
I feel very alone in this view.. - By: Saiorse, 13 Jun 2007 
While I think as a whole the cast acted well, & sang well, the story was uninspiring & dull. The characters were unlikable and, while I'm glad I gave it a shot, I'd never watch it again if I has a choice.
