Ron Peters's Reviews > Pygmalion

This is a quick read and fun, though it’s puzzling at times to figure out exactly what you like and dislike about the characters of Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins.

I wondered about bothering with Pygmalion since I had a good idea what it was about without reading it. But now I’d like to see it staged. I’d also like to give a try to the 1938 film adaptation starring Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard: https://tinyurl.com/n9kjyam2.
