Review of My Fair Lady (1964) by Rathi P — 05 Jan 2013
After an English pronunciation expert (Rex Harrison) meets a poor flower girl (Audrey Hepburn) and is appalled by the way she verbally speaks, he bets his companion (Wilfred Hyde-White) that he could transform her into a lady who speaks proper English within six months in the famous musical, My Fair Lady.
To give credit where it's due, some of the musical numbers live up to their word of mouth especially "With a Little Bit of Luck" and "On the Street Where You Live". But due to its excessive length, Harrison's never ending dismissal of Hepburn's speaking, and Hepburn's annoying complaining, My Fair Lady did not deserve to be the main Oscar winner especially when compared to another musical hit of the same year, Mary Poppins.
