    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Costume designer Cecil Beaton created 1,500 costumes for this movie, with the exception of the pearl white gown Audrey Hepburn wears to the Embassy Ball, an original Edwardian specimen Beaton found in an antique shop.
    • Goofs
      When Prof. Higgins sings "An Ordinary Man" he turns on several phonographs, seconds later he turns off one of them but all of the sounds stop.
    • Quotes
      • Professor Henry Higgins: There even are places where English completely disappears; in America they haven't used it for years.
    • Crazy credits
      In the posters, playbills and the original cast album for the stage version of "My Fair Lady", the credits always read "based on Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' ", letting the audience know what play "My Fair Lady" was actually adapted from. The movie credits simply read "from a play by Bernard Shaw".
    • Alternate versions
      In the remastered version of the film, some of the scene changes are changed from sudden cuts to wipe outs, as they probably were when the film was released. When CBS Fox released it on video originally, they were changed to sudden cuts.
