Storyline
In London, Professor Henry Higgins, a scholar of phonetics, believes that the accent and tone of one’s voice determines a person’s prospects in society. He agrees to a wager that he can make Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl with a thick, unintelligible accent, presentable in high society.

“The movie will never be as good as the book, both because the book goes on longer and because books are internal.”
