My parents saw the original Broadway production of "My Fair Lady" in 1956, and then saw the film eight years later. When I grew up, I asked my father who he thought did a better job as Eliza -- Julie Andrews or Audrey Hepburn. He thought for a moment and said: "I think that Julie was the better Eliza pre-transformation, and Audrey was the better Eliza post-transformation." Then he got a faraway look in his eyes and smiled: "MY GOD, when she came down the stairs in that gown!" Many years later, I got an insider's view of that delectable moment: I played Colonel Pickering in a sensational production of "My Fair Lady", and was honored to share the stage with a brilliantly talented singer-actress as Eliza, who could have stepped onto the stage of the Winter Garden in the role, and left the audience feeling that their tickets would have been cheap at ten times the price. Every evening when she descended the staircase, I got to say "Miss Doolittle, you look beautiful". And I've never had to do less acting in my life.
I love this. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful comment! Enjoyed every word!!!
“Brilliantly talented actress” so much so whom you forgot her name or you don’t want to reveal her name. Bull. We remember Audrey and Julie because they were TRULY memorable. Who is this unmemorable unnamed actress you speak of ?
@@kateli1880 I did not "forget her name". I don't reveal people's names (or pictures) on the Internet -- in ANY context -- because I don't want to expose them to the possibility of harassment at the hands of people as unpleasant as you.
@@tadimaggio Very right and proper. You are a gentleman Thomas. It's so good to know they are not all gone. Thanks, you've made my day.
I wish I had just a teeny fraction of her grace and beauty.
You do in your own way I’m sure of it.
@@eleanorwilliams769 thank you for being kind in a world where so many people aren't. 😊
@@TheLightFish you’re welcome.
I'm sure you have your on grace and beauty, the thing is to find it in yourself and,....accept yourself through love and kindness.
I read that when Audrey Hepburn walked down the stairs in the first take, the cast and crew gasped before cheering and giving her an applause.
I want all the dresses Audrey Hepburn wore in this movie, she wore them perfectly. She played her role exquisitely, her character had depth of range in emotion. Audrey Hepburn showed them all in a way that made this movie warm hearted and fun, but touching.
Family Guy - Big Little Lies, that was made for you.
This is my favorite moment in the entire movie. I love the moment when Higgins pauses by the door and then goes back and offers his arm to Eliza. Beautiful!
I definitely love Higgins' words before she comes down the stairs: all the deep sense of Shaw's message is contained in those words. Sublime scene.
The most exquisite woman ever, I melt everytime I see her
I assume you saw her in Roman Holiday. I loved her in that!!
@@chordsofgratitude2073 Rooney Mara hasn´t at all a beautiful face Audrey has but she is as well as thin. Rooney , I´m sorry, is not pretty. Look at her face features thoroughly.
@ Rose DeWitt Bukater....I said she resembles Audrey.... You created your opinion based on what was never stated by me.
@@rosedewittbukater4203Rooney is beautiful but who asked
That white gown, the jewelry, the hair, the red velvet coat, everything is just perfection! Audrey Hepburn just looks absolutely dazzling, a true Queen! Without doubt, my absolute favourite Hollywood ensemble of all time!💖💖💖😍😍😍
You can see that he is blown away when he see:s her comes down them stairs so much so he needs a quick drink to steady his nerves and he had all ready said in the conversation with Pickering that she matters. Immensely
You have a good eye. Most viewers are oblivious to such details. Henry is a very composed man who rarely lets his emotions get the better of him. I think in a way that is why Eliza falls in love with him. Henry is steady as a rock. Henry also shows his love but in a very unconventional way. Yes she matters to him immensely. Think about it he spent 6 month of his life refining this ugly duckling and turning her into a swan. All his other projects wage earnings etc etc etc where placed on hold. Very few people could realize the expense he made taking her in the way he did. Gave her a home, her own room, fed her clothed her and many many lessons. Who paid for all of that?? HENRY not the Coronel. By this point The coronel had recanted his bet and it was off.
Ah yes. INTERMISSION. The chance to freshen up, go to the loo and stock up on refreshments.
Everything that is missing from the modern movie experience.
Press 'pause' and voila! Loo breaks at your command!
Not in India, they still have intermission ^^
@@afreen9288 Yes, we do!
Watched frozen 2 last month and there was one in it! 😊
During intermission there was an organist or announcements. Yes yes I am old but those were great times. Ushers, with their flash lights escorted you to your seats. No cell phones
@@DiannaAtherton oh wow. How long ago was this? And which country?
No person will ever compare with the beauty, elegance and grace of Audrey Hepburn.
And that is leaving aside her compassion for the less fortunate.

The absolute epitome of class and regal beauty.
That scene of her coming down the stairs...I was 14 when the movie was made....I was 16 when I first saw it at a drive in movie in Texas...I'm 71 now, pushing 72...and she's still the second most beautiful woman in the world. (My wife is the most beautiful, but she touches my heart and my eyes...call me prejudiced.)
This scene presents the greatest portrayal of a Lady I've ever scene in cinema. The look Audrey gives as she reaches for his extended arm.....sigh.
Very beatiful film
The white sparkling dress, crimson-red (velvet?) coat, Audrey....all in lush color!
Such elegance.
More "loverly" than ever. Well done!
And under the supervision of the man who restored the film the first time, Robert A. Harris. He and James C. Katz were first called in to rescue the film from completely disintegrating back in 1994. While searching for the film and audio elements, they found rare BTS footage, audio clips of George Cukor directing and Audrey Hepburn’s original vocal performances on two of the songs. Now, 50 years later, the film is more “loverly” than ever.
One of the most stunning entrances in cinematic history.
I like how he slams the glass of port before he attends to her.
Audrey was too lovely for this 🌎.
still one of the greatest movies ever. and Hepburn. ah, Hepburn. they dont make that way anymore.
class and style then. not so much these days.
He is rich but doesn't know how to have nice maner with my lovely queen😍😍😍😘😘
My. Dad always wantes me to see musicals.this one was my favorite I'm 57 now amx my dad has.passed away it.makes me feel closer to him. Love it
Same feelings shared here.,, i.too am in my late 50s now , and watching this movie brings back fond memories of my beloved late Father eager to let us watch this great movie and the songs
I watched the restored/remastered 3 hr print of "Cleopatra" on a big screen TV through RUclips movies.. My God! It was perfect! The colours were really striking and it was as sharp as a tack!
cliffedward How do you rent a you tube movie I’ve never seen an explanation or a app for that? Nobody gives any directions anymore they just have pictures of movies then say rent or buy.
Wow! You are lucky!!!
Do you like "A Marriage of Convenience" (1998)

Greetings from Moscow Russia🇷🇺
Where are you from originally?
Awaiting your soonest reply!!!
Enjoy your Funny Wednesday.
I loved the beginning of this movie but the professor character became more annoying towards the ending..Audrey's character i could love
OMG ! A new, restored 70mm print of MFL on a curved 50 feet screen with 6-track magnetic sound. Wouldn't that be loverly. I've been running a least 300 shows of The Queen of musicals, calling for goosebumps every single time. -But always prints of 10-15 years of age, fading severely into reddish. I still love that film ! 🥰
The problem is aging Eastmancolor prints tend to go red. I saw a Warnercolor print of “Rebel Without a Cause”
at MOMA in the ‘70’s, and it was damn near unwatchable. Meanwhile, Technicolor, an imbibition method never seems to change much.
The Restoration prints of “My Fair Lady” specify they were mastered on Eastmancolor. By then, the Technicolor process was no longer available.
Gorgeous!
For God's sakes ...there is SOME ~ CLASS ~ in Western Civilization ! Thank You Audrey & Rex ! :)
There WAS.
An asian Muslim here and so badly regretting where exactly that CLASS went????? All I see is GARBAGE....
I'm told that the inspiration for 'My Fair Lady' came from the real life story of Sabine Baring-Gould, author of the hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers and the working class, mill worker, from a town near to where I live, who he married and elevated to high society.
I don’t know where you got that but it sounds wrong.
‘My Fair Lady’ the film is the film version of of the same title musical which is based on “Pygmalion”, a Play by George Bernard Shaw.
The inspiration comes from the Ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion about an artist who fell in love with his muse. No marriage involved. Shaw intended his work as a satire on society. The romantic element was introduced as crowd pleasers but it makes very little sense in the story. In subsequent writings Shaw explained that Eliza married her young boyfriend and set up a flower shop.
THe restoration is much brighter
Looks very good indeed
I saw another clip(probably original) where the music continues to play as Higgins pauses at the door and turns to Eliza. So much more emotional with the silence before he offers his arm
Wouldn't the 4K transfer be lovely? Lovely? Lovely!
Обожаю английский язык!!! И старинную обстановку!!!
is there some change in the soundtrack?? I have seen this scene countless times and when the music picks up as Prof H goes back to offer his arm you hear the woodwinds quite distinctly
@Google User
yes, I can see the change (its good) ....but I was speaking of the music (cant "SEE" that) ...if you can no longer hear the certain instruments during a lull in the overall music I do not consider that "fabulous" ...that clarinet that used to be heard as she was offered an arm by higgins was sublime ...its loss most unfortunate
Maravillosa!!!
It looks over exposed now
So does Audrey!
Agreed. The whites are startling and the lack of subtle hue and value transitions makes them look cartoony and flat. The original, non-Blu-ray film was too dark as a consequence of the technology available at the time, and looks better on the older and smaller televisions that the tapes were intended for rather than the new screens with larger pictures and higher resolutions. The Blu-ray did an excellent job. That bit of overcast left makes the film look dreamy and retains the vintage feel.
@Google User I'm an artist with two degrees and certificate in my subject, as well as teaching experience. I have an understanding of color, value, and the consequential difference of reality to film through technology. You needn't insult someone for a difference in opinion.
@@jonothandoeser She kept her clothes on at all times.
@@NasikaSakura But can you see straight?
I wish they restored the ‘30s “Pygmalion”, the film version of the play on which “My Fair Lady” is based. Funnier and with superb actors, imo far superior to this one.
Panse, Ah yes, How I loved Leslie Howard, and still do!
...and.Wendy Hiller made a superb Eliza.
Wow,che bella Audrey,bellissima 👑
Beautiful !!!!!!!!
What typical man walks away then has to come back for her!!! Lol!
Well at least he comes back!
Es grünt so grün, wenn Spaniens Blüten blühen........, oder das Lied, ich hab getanzt heut Nacht, die ganze Nacht, heut Nacht, . My Fair Lady, mit Audrey Hepburn, einfach nur wunderschön!
Exelente.
1:59 Why is the 4K (on top) smaller than the old Blu-ray?
Having heard her singing, I think it a great mistake for them not to use her voice. Just my take but Ms. Nixon’s voice was not seamless with Ms Hepburn’s spoken voice. Further, I got to see My Fair Lady at Covet Garden and the
Eliza that night was no better than Ms Hepburn’s renditions of the same songs. That said, of course, all women involved deserve our appreciation,
Awesome Movie.
....great now I wanna watch it....
Not on Netflix, not on Prime ... 😱😔😢
On Netflix now - April 2021

That "start-of-the-art" technology washed her face out when she was at the top of the stairs. You should have used state-of-the art technology instead.
😂
Can we watch the restored version online?
Audrey was Amazing and Extraordinary.
RIP
But, Julie Andrews really should have done the film.

Professor Higgins...one word.. MANNERS...... just lack thereof
Бесподобная Одри Хепберн. Фильм замечательный, но где перевод на русский?
I prefer the 4K to the Blu Ray which is much too dark. I wish they would not tamper with movies so much in the restoration.
You mean to tell me there’s a version with Audrey Hepburn as Dolittle? What version did I see that she wasn’t in it.
I was shocked by the Intermission. Older people in New Zealand have told me they used to dress up nicely and sing the national anthem before the movie started. These days people watch movies alone on their phones in bed.
Ok so no one is here after met gala Kendals dress
And people say he didn't love her. Bullshit 😂
That scene doesn't necessarily show that he loves her. She is going to the ball as an elegant lady and he realizes he needs to treat her as one. I don't think you fully realize that he may love her until the scene at his mother's home and then the finale.
Who is here after watching Kendall dress in met gala😂🖤
its so different though, kendall silhouette resemble gilded age more, i mean this movie is set 10 years after gilded age, but all the gilded age people are still alive and well and dictate fashion basically gilded age without bustle
🙂
Actress Par Excellence
Thanks a bunch.🇷🇺
Too bright - now looks like it was shot on a set under glaring lights.
it was.
Lurking Lucious
I wish I had fair skin like her. I’m white as can be. Norwegian, Irish and German descent with a tiny pinch of Native American and I tan so easy. 😫 my skin will never be as fair as hers and I’m so sad

Julie Andrews was so perfect in the stage version that I didn’t want to see the movie....
Such a sad loss, Audrey did an phenomenal job as Eliza.
