Pygmalion

1938 96 min Comedy · Drama · Romance

He picked up a girl from the gutter - and changed her into a glamorous society butterfly!

So this is what happens when a man decides pronunciation is the key to personhood. Eliza Doolittle, freshly scrubbed of her Covent Garden roots, learns to say vowels like she’s owed money for them. The real surprise isn’t her perfect diction—it’s that anyone expected the experiment not to get messy.

Directed by Leslie Howard, Anthony Asquith · Written by Ian Dalrymple, George Bernard Shaw

Starring Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller, Wilfrid Lawson, Marie Lohr, Scott Sunderland, Jean Cadell
