      Audrey did well, but her singing voice wasn't up to par, so even though she worked hard on her singing voice for this movie, after filming they dubbed all her words with a professional singer named Marni Nixon. However there were six words of her singing voice that they didn't remove from the movie, and there are some TH-cam videos showing Audrey's singing voice. If you listen carefully to the following video, you will hear her voice. You will notice that the words "Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight" were sung so well that those are the only words that they didn't dub. Those six words are her actual singing words in the final cut of the movie. th-cam.com/video/5KGMA-ghPUA/w-d-xo.html

    I saw this film for the first time at 13 at school (can you believe it!! Yes 13 -- most girls that age these days would turn their noses up at the mere mention that they had to watch such 'rubbish' lol). I adored it then. I adore it now. That along with Sound of Music and Mary Poppins fascinated me. Of course I also loved Old Yeller (seen much younger but seared in my mind and perhaps responsible for my life-long love of dogs) and other classics. These gave me an everlasting fascination and love of film and cinema xo

    i actually really hate this movie for vorgiving the proffessore to be this narcicistic rude asshole without any repercussions for his behavior. He didn't deserve any kind treating from Eliza after he treated her so poorly. andi believe if a woman had a say in the matter of the script she wouldn't have returned to him. I don't want to hear any excuses of "oh the film is just old" i can't understand how anyone could say this was their favourite movie with such a heartless character who doesn't face any repercussions but in the end gets rewarded
    sorry for the rant i just had to say it
    honestly the only good things about this movie are the fashion and elizas and the proffesores mothers personality (except until the end where Eliza returned what no respectable women in her right mind would have done)

    • @Akmay-
      @Akmay- 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I remember I used to like this film as a kid for the music and the spectacle, but now I think about it, the underlying attitudes are pretty questionable. (Bernard Shaw's original script I hear is different, especially regarding the outcome -- Eliza marries Freddie and goes off to run a flower shop in Kensington, apparently. Perhaps the original had a deeper message? Can't say without re-reading/watching).

    With a little bit of vocal training. The most musically accomplished Broadway show was ruined before it ever
    went Hollywood. Rex Harrison, who had done very good work playing Sir
    Alfred de Carter opposite Linda Darnell as a Svengali-like orchestra
    conductor in the movie Unfaithfully Yours, never should have been cast
    as Higgins. Even he thought so, despite being recommended by Noel Coward
    (who could sing). A non-singer and obnoxiously proud of it, Harrison
    cramped the style of composer Frederick Loewe from the start. Opening
    night in New Haven was nearly cancelled due to Harrison's cold feet. One
    is tempted to imagine what Loewe might have written for a vocal
    powerhouse, given the other treats in the score. Nevertheless, he gave
    Higgins wonderful songs. Listen for the melodies carried by the
    orchestra as Harrison croaks along or ignores the music altogether in
    his manly affectation. Aesthetically, one would think, the role calls
    for a baritone as musically splendid as he was linguistically
    sophisticated. Of course, the defense of Harrison is that his superb
    acting made up for the vocal debacle, which is not true. In the movie of
    the play, Leslie Howard's performance of Higgins is infinitely better.
    Future producers should simply look to performers such as Tony Yazbeck
    to cast the role, men who have the vocal charisma to characterize Henry
    Higgins in a musical. Higgins should have over-the-top music like that
    of a Rossini tenor at the start and sober up into plainsong as the spell
    of Eliza brings him low. Her music should have the opposite arc, with a
    Matilde di Shabran fireworks finish. As it is, the movie is more
    watchable for the Cecil Beaton art direction, the Cukor direction and
    the the Shaw wit. Audrey Hepburn had her moments as a film star, but she
    plays Eliza as a variation of her Princess Ann in Roman Holiday--this
    time a royal pretending to be a Cockney, who goes back to being a royal.
    But that doesn't really work dramatically, because the play Pygmalion
    shows that the newly minted princess is much more interesting than a
    real princess would ever be when she dumps Higgins like so many wilted
    violets. Hepburn's performance here is as disembodied and unsympathetic
    as Kiri Te Kanewa's recorded Eliza. One gets the distinct feeling that
    these two women believe it's more respectable to be a princess, and that
    we as an audience must not forget that in real life they are refined
    and important performers...and that's a bit of a bore. In the end,
    Hepburn could not do justice to all that glorious music written for her,
    even in a pantomime, unlike Marion Cotillard's sensational turn as
    Piaf. But in this production nobody can sing. Even the voice of Freddy
    Hill--who has the greatest love ballad of all time, On The Street Where
    You Live--was dubbed.

      I watch MFL once a year; Cotillard was superb-but once was enough.

      @@sazzieb1 Wrong. No non-singer should ever be cast in a musical. Not only that. You see he flattened or erased all of Higgins’ melodies in a way that perversely ruined all subsequent productions.
