And Shaw Created Woman
Linguistically appropriate and bad-mannered Leslie Howard (as Henry Higgins) bets he can teach cockney guttersnipe Wendy Hiller (as Eliza Doolittle) how to speak in high society, and then pass her off to the Buckingham Palace crowd as a Duchess. This production of George Bernard Shaw’s classic story doesn’t have the great Lerner / Loewe songs made familiar in the musical (“My Fair Lady”) version, but it’s a much better production, overall. Mr. Shaw receives official credit; he shared an “Academy Award” win with three screenplay adapters. Whatever the distribution of work, Shaw’s sharp and brilliant satire on British dialects shines prominently. Everyone performs marvelously. The accent is on excellence.********** Pygmalion (8/38) Anthony Asquith, Leslie Howard ~ Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller, Wilfrid Lawson, Scott Sunderland
