My wife is a big fan of My Fair Lady and I watched it with her. I am not a fan of musicals, particularly those that are almost three hours long. However, My Fair Lady pleasantly surprised me and I recommend it.
MFL is a great film in that it does everything well. The cast is excellent (even though Audrey Hepburn is just lip synching her songs). I liked the way the script developed several of the supporting characters. The visuals are amazing; the costumes alone almost make MFL worth watching. The story is great too; you care about what happens to Henry and Eliza. Finally, MFL might make you pine for the old-style movies; everything (sex, violence, language) is so coarse in the films that we see today; MFL accomplishes many of the same effects with subtle grace.
I give MFL four stars. After all, it is a musical and people keep bursting into song. Still, watching MFL is three hours well spent.

This movie is exceptionally great, if you are a music lover.Hepburn and Harrison are great together. If you like this one, you'll love Hepburn in GIGI and ROMAN HOLIDAY.

ABSOLUTELY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE! COSTUMES ARE UNMATCHED BY ANY FILM. MUSIC IMPECABLE. ACTING IS STUPENDOUS! LOVE THIS FILM. WONDERFUL FOR ALL AGES. WOULD BE GREAT IF THE INDUSTRY WOULD START MAKING THIS KIND OF FILM AGAIN INSTEAD OF THE "CRAP" THAT IS OUT THERE TODAY. THIS IS TRUELY WHAT A MOVIE WAS MEAN'T TO BE!

I have two quibbles with the version I got:
1) the songs of Audrey Hepburn are dubbed.
2) the version I got was shorted to take out the girl learning to dance
for the ball.
A big George Bernard Shaw fan, I actually saw this when it came out
in 1965 ( I think) while in college.
I loved seeing it again.

A colorful wonderful story with great music. I am giving it to my 12 year old granddaughter for her birthday.
