The remake starring a true up and coming Academy Nominated and BAFTA winning talent Carey Mulligan to play Eliza Doolittle. Directed by John Madden, (Shakespeare in Love,Captain Corelli's Mandolin) will be sure to make the remake new and different with a twist of genius.
The original My Fair Lady starring Audrey Hepburn was adaptation of the Broadway musical about Professor Henry Higgins, who takes a bet from Colonel Pickering that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady, and fool everyone into thinking she really is one, too! He does, and thus young aristocrat Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls madly in love with her. But when Higgins takes all the credit and forgets to acknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for Freddy, and suddenly Higgins realizes he's grown accustomed to her face and can't really live without it.
About Me

- I'm neither a film scholar nor a film critic, merely a film fan. I feel robbed, recently my blog was hacked into and after much distress, hundreds of my film reviews are now gone. This is sad as I now have to start from scratch on a new site and hopefully find a new following and hoping my old followers will find me here. I feel that I must make up time wasted and review as many new films as possible.
