My Fair Lady?


I have to write a review on the movie, and I haven't seen the movie in about a year, and its a blizzard outside and i can't go rent it again, can anyone help me out and explain the story line again?

My Fair Lady (1964)

Gloriously witty adaptation of the Broadway musical about Professor Henry Higgins, who takes a bet from Colonel Pickering that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady, and fool everyone into thinking she really is one, too! He does, and thus young aristocrat Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls madly in love with her. But when Higgins takes all the credit and forgets to acknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for Freddy, and suddenly Higgins realizes he's grown accustomed to her face and can't really live without it.

A chance meeting between two noted British linguists, Prof. Henry Higgins and Col. Hugh Pickering, leads to a wager that will test Higgins' skills. After they hear a cockney flower girl caterwaul in the street, Higgins proposes to transform the girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined Victorian lady with an aristocratic accent. After some hesitation Eliza agrees to become their test case.

Eliza is a poor girl. She sells flowers, and through an interaction with a group of higher class people waiting for a cab after the theater, who are delayed because of the rain, she gets the idea that Higgins will teach her to talk high class, and then she could get a job in a flower shop instead of being outside.

He and Colonel Pickering take her on as a lark -- a bet between them to pass her off as a duchess at a ball where royalty will be in attendance. They work poor Eliza to death and then, when it's all over, forget to give her credit.

She leaves (going to Higgins mothers house) and Higgins discovers he loves her.

It's about a flowergirl who becomes a beauty queen in 1 month.

Chante pretty much summed it up in short, if you need more details though check IMDB it usually has very detailed reviews etc.
BTW I love this film and think it is one of Hepburn's best movies.
I watch it every year on boxing day and can't wait to get my lil sisters to watch it this year, hopefully they will love it as much as me.

It's basically about an English gentleman who makes a bet that he can turn a regular girl off the street into a proper lady. Through the film, they grow to like one another but don't want to admit it. One of my favorite films.
