Movie Review Script

Name: Allison Goettsch                                Title of Movie: My Fair Lady              Length:  2:00 minutes

“ My Fair Lady” is a timeless classic musical film that today still captures the hearts and imaginations of all fans who enjoy musical films.

The 1964 film is based upon the stage play “Pygmalion” by George Bernard Shaw.

It stars Audrey Hepburn as the lead character Eliza Doolittle, Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins, and a very well put together cast of other colorful and important characters in the story.

The story itself is very powerful.

 It can be described as an ugly duckling becoming a swan because in the beginning of the film, we Eliza as a dirty girl selling flowers on the streets and throughout and by the end of the film, she becomes a polished, well mannered, lady.

The music only adds to the story, making it even more powerful.

There are a total of 25 musical numbers in the film.

The most famous song being “I Could’ve Danced All Night”, sung by Mami Nixon in the film, is one of the most famous songs in the world and has been sung by thousands of singers.

The film went on to win the 1964 Academy Award for Best Original Musical Score, as well as seven more Oscars.

At almost three hours, this is one of the greatest films in Hollywood history.

I believe that this is a film that should be seen by everyone who enjoys classical musicals.
