Title: The First Fair Lady
Product review: Before she ever sang "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", Eliza was sellingflowers in Covent Garden and crucifying the king's English. Wendy Hiller made her film debut as Eliza and is magnificent. Shewas nominated for an Oscar. As Henry Higgins, Leslie Howard isabsolute perfection. The supporting cast is ideal. Alan Jay Lerner adapted Shaw's screenplay nearly word for word for MY FAIR LADY. In fact when Leslie Howard says "I've grown accustom to her face and appearance" we nearly add "it almost makes the day begin." The Criterion dvd is a superb transfer. Cathleen Nesbitt has a bit part in the Embassy Ball scene.part at the Embassy Ball and you can also see Anthony Quayle ina quick shot. One of the best. I watch this more than I watchMY FAIR LADY.
