Outside Covent Garden on a rainy evening in 1912, cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, meets linguistic expert Henry Higgins. Higgins, in turn, bets with his companion, Colonel Pickering, that, within six months, he could transform Eliza into a proper lady, simply by teaching her proper English. The next morning, face and hands freshly scrubbed, Eliza presents herself on Higgins' doorstep, ready and willing to be turned into a lady.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Favorite Musical submitted by ks1287 on July 26, 2013, 8:11pm My Fair Lady is my all-time favorite musical. The music is spectacular as well as the costumes and sets. It's such a fun movie and one I could watch over and over again. While I do enjoy Audrey Hepburn as Eliza, I still think Julie Andrews (who originated the role on Broadway) would have done a much better job. Because, really, who can do a musical better than Julie Andrews?
Delightful submitted by wendylv on August 21, 2015, 6:33pm This is a charming story with lovely songs. You'll be saying "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain" for days!
awesome submitted by poptart887 on August 22, 2016, 6:49pm absolutely fabulous film. love it, love it, love it.
Maybe Audrey's best?! submitted by annikajoyce on August 9, 2018, 6:33pm I know that Breakfast at Tiffany's is her most iconic film, but Audrey Hepburn does SUCH a spectacular job in My Fair Lady––not to mention her counter-part, Rex Harrison, who plays a clever, complex, and funny Professor Higgins. I could watch this film over and over again. So good!!!
