MUSICALS - MY FAIR LADY(1964)
This is one of the all-time great musicals ever made,
right up there with Sound Of Music, Singin' In The Rain
South Pacific & Mary Poppins!!! Not only does this have
my all-time favorite actress in it(Audrey Hepburn), but
also one of my favorite "character actors"(Wilfrid
Hyde-White), not to mention Batman's butler, Alan Napier!!
Wonderful music, wonderful settings, great actors, great
script and story!! One of the best!! A+
From IMDb.com:
I bought this at a yard sale in 2013, kept putting it off thinking,
"Aacck! Look how long it is! Singing and wacky accents! I should
call the dentist and see if he can bump up that root canal!" I
finally slapped it on...and I loved it! Rex Harrison's way of
sing/talking, perfect! My favorite character: Colonel Pickering.
Wilfred Hyde-White, that guy was great, a real scene stealer.
Never before understood the allure of Audrey Hepburn...until
now! Yeah, I'd seen Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Wait
Until Dark, all many years ago. Maybe too many years ago, now
I have a greater appreciation of classic movies. She's absolutely
adorable in this movie, and that one scene when she walks out
dressed for the ball...jaw, meet floor! Surprised I knew half the
songs already. But it has been around awhile, plenty of time to
become an iconic musical. It was great, check it out if you
can. - Negasonic_WoodChipper_Warhead
