No he doesn’t return to his usual self. She just quoted her old self with her Cockney accent, essentially saying “I’d still be that lowly woman if it weren’t for you.” His line about the slippers is his return of her declaration; “if I never met you, I’d still be that kind of guy.” It may not be the same as “I love you and we will live happily ever after,” but it is their own unique confession of gratitude and affection.
I watched the movie when I was a kid. I'm watching it now. Brilliant acting even by today's standards. When Eliza returns- I loved that moment. A teardrop trickled down the eye. And Audrey Hepburn's acting was superb. From a flower girl to a lady, she nailed it -Wow! Salute from India. And yep! I loved that old England!!!
Wonderful movie she is just great Audrey Hepburn one of my favorite actress I have seen this movie so many times and I can see it again and again its a classic.
“I washed my face and ‘ands before I come, I did.” = “If it weren’t for you, I’d still be that woman on the tape. You’ve changed me for the better. Thank you.” “Where the devil are my slippers?” = “If it weren’t for you, I’d still be that kind of guy. You’ve changed me for the better. Thank you.”
The recording audio played here doesnt fit the original recording from the real early scene. Does Anybody knows if they could do this audio editing in 1910? Maybe it was possible. Hard to think they didnt notice this...

@@user-pf3hc9bn1r That is why we older people love these films. Right now, there's yet another King Kong vs. Godzilla movie. That's a shameful admission to make in 2024. We're becoming cavemen again.
Harry Nielson's song best describes Henry's situation: "I can't live if living is without you" Eliza has him by the total and absolute balls and since he's never been in love, him and his 140 + IQ doesn't realize it. Jack Nicholson in "As good as it gets" was created after this movie. Mr Udall can't live without Carol the waitress and he doesn't know why. Mrs Higgins, Henry's mom has already accepted Eliza as her daughter in law. In her brilliant mind she has foreseen this game of chess type of situation, type of love through and Henry isn't in check, he's in check mate.
Excellent scene! Not part of the original narrative by George Bernard Shaw....but nonetheless karmic and beautiful. Higgins finally admits that he loves Eliza DoLittle.
And her smile speaks volumes. She might not stay. But she needed him to admit how he really felt. And he does, after she does. “I washed my face and ‘ands before I come, I did.” - “if it weren’t for you, I’d still be that woman on the tape.” “Where the devil are my slippers?” = “if it weren’t for you, I’d still be the jerk I used to be who couldn’t see how lonely he was.”
Funny personal story about this scene. When the movie came out we were studying Shaw in English Lit in high school. The school booked a private viewing at a theater 50 miles from the small town we lived in and pretty much the entire high school went to see the movie. The next English Lit class were were discussing the movie when the teacher casually asked the class what we thought happened to Higgins and Eliza after the end of the movie. We all said, well, they got married! The teacher solemnly asked, but what if they didn't get married? Keep in mind - this was a class of kids from 1965, conservative rural church-going America. We sat there in shocked silence at the thought that Professor Higgins and Eliza Dolittle would..."shack up" ...instead of marry! 😄 Back then it was unthinkable.
Eliza got to see that the Professor cared deeply for her and missed her. She realized that without him she'd still be in the gutter. They accepted each other the way that they are...Higgins is somewhere on the autistic spectrum. Now that I'm older, I love and appreciate this ending . ❤ He's crying with relief underneath his hat ❤

Shows exactly how abuse relationships work. Victim: I want to be treated better. Abuser: I treat you fine. You can come back when your ready to continue having the relationship we always have had. Exactly how it played out with my grandmother. (Her exact words were "Come back when your ready to continue having our loving healthy relationship") If it wasn't for my at the time unborn child and my need to protect him from her attempt to use him as a manipulation tactic, I might never had gotten free of her.

He' s a psychopath and the worst thing in Eliza's life was to admire his brutal, inhuman behavior. Luckily we do not have to see the sequel of her life with this gelid monster.

George Bernard Shaw, the author, knew this - the filmmakers probably did too, but they didn't trust audiences to accept the film without a romantic reconciliation at the end
He is a reasonable rational man. But this entire movie is staunchly reek of misogyny. It condones abusive relationships. As if fighting is something to normalize or is enjoyable. I mean, how hard is it to apologize and step down your ego? When Eliza walks out once she will walk out again and again, it’s not a habit to encourage. In real life, just take what’s left and open a flower shop. With a flower shop, she would be truly free. No Higgins, no Freddy. Higgins only grown accustomed to her, not respectful to her. He will only respect her for a while because he misses her for now, but he’s gonna be back to his misogynistic norm. Eliza will be accustomed to his temperament and submissive to his arrogance.
The ending is basically the one invented for the 1938 film of Shaw's play Pygmalion (with Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard), on which My Fair Lady is based. The original ending is a lot blunter, and Shaw made it clear in an Afterward to the published script that Eliza in fact marries Freddy.
I just love how Higgins has a brief moment of relief and joy before returning to his usual self, as if he's too proud to admit it to her face.
No it's he is to proud to admit it, to himself
No he doesn’t return to his usual self.

Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn...made it so loving and touching
Bohay hee aalaa aur khubsoorat
He’ll never deserve her but I do love this song so much for that tragedy of his character
You're right--he could never deserve Eliza.
I have seen it over and over and per again...the movie is top classic

One of our favorite stories. Pygmalion. Very well acted. The best actors ever in these parts.
Perfection. Just. Perfection.
何度見ても感動する歴史に残るラストシーンですね。レックスハリスンの前半の歌に乗せた台詞が素晴らしいし、最後にイライザが帰ってきた時のラストの台詞、初めて中学生で見た時は意味がわからなかった。ハットで顔を隠すところ、カッコよすぎる。
Очень красивый старый фильм играют великолепные актёры это шедерв вечно смотреть он никогда не уйдёт с экрана. Вечная память
Сам ты старый

Higgins loves Eliza in an entirely selfish way.
@@zedmarlen Yes but romantic love is actually selfish in nature.
@@tonyscott1658 ... okay, but not "entirely" selfish. At no time in this story does Higgins think of anyone but himself.

Hermoso film y hermosa historia...gracias !!!!!
Higgins may have breeding and education but he has no chance of ever deserving Eliza.

Para mi impresionante es mi película junto Historia de una monja de Audrey Hepburn. Me gustaría
This was such a good movie

The subtitle is Japanese!
私のひいばあちゃんより3歳年下かぁ。ヒギンス教授、カッコいいけど、見方によっては、「年下の男の子」

Great movie, though I never thought Rex made a very sympathetic romantic lead.
好きなエンディングだと断った上で言うのてすが、余りに急転直下過ぎやしませんかね?
「アポートの鍵貸します」と同じぐらい。
女心は分かりません。

As Hitchcock said to Ingrid Bergman, it’s a movie Ingrid.

I would like it more if she threw the slippers again on his face at the ending...
3:17 😂😂😂
He was a asshole to her the whole movie. Then she leaves and all the sudden he loves her ? Please.
Not the best ending they could have come up with
I thought it was perfection. Rex Harrison was marvelous in this last scene. What great acting!

К тому еще...маменькин сынок,избалован уж очень!
