Title: A true British classic
Product review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.This film is based on the play by George Bernard Shaw. The film was even scripted by Shaw so it definately is the best version of the film.The story later inspired the much more famous musical film "My Fair Lady" I have not seen "My Fair Lady" so I am not one to compare.The film follows a phonetics and linguistics expert, Henry Higgins. He has such a knowledge of accents that he can tell what town a person is from by hearing them speak for only a few seconds. He later makes a bet with a colleague that he can train a common girl from Cockney to speak "proper" English and fool people into thinking she is a duchess.The Criterion DVD has no special features but the picture quality is quite good for a film of its age.This film is one of my new favorites!
