Our take on My Fair Lady

George Cukor's 1964 musical follows a haughty phonetics professor who bets he can pass off a Cockney flower girl as a duchess, in a lavish adaptation of Shaw's Pygmalion. Witty, tuneful and gorgeously staged, it's classic musical spectacle with a sly social edge. If its songs and transformation delighted you, seek out golden-age musicals and romantic comedies of manners about class, pride and reinvention.
