SOOOOOOOOO much better than the movie My Fair Lady even though Audrey Hepburn is always stunning and it was directed by Uncle George, and the songs really are fantastic.

I LOVE that she ends up with (spoiler alert)) Freddy instead of that misogynistic knucklehead (i'm being kind and gentle with my words) Rex Harrison, I mean Henry Higgins. and she gets to run a flower-shop - VERY COOL!

Did this version come with the movie included? :) how did that work?

Anyway, i think i liked the book even more than the movie (and havent seen it live) though i enjoyed them both thoroughly.

I love the movie My Fair Lady so it was fun to read the original play, "Pygmalion" and compare it to the "My Fair Lady" version. A quick light read.
