My Fair Lady
1964
Henry Higgins, a pompous phonetics professor, makes a wager that he can transform a Cockney flower girl named Eliza Doolittle into a convincing duchess through voice and manner training, with consequences neither of them anticipated. George Cukor's sumptuous musical adaptation of Shaw's Pygmalion is one of the grandest and most perfectly crafted Hollywood musicals ever made.
