My Fair Lady is a 1964 American musical comedy drama film adapted from Lerner and Loewe's 1956 stage musical based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 stage play Pygmalion. With a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by George Cukor, the film depicts a poor Cockney flower-seller named Eliza Doolittle who overhears phonetics scholar Henry Higgins casually wager that he could teach her to speak English so well she could pass for a duchess in Edwardian-era London, or secure employment in a flower store. It stars Audrey Hepburn as Doolittle, replacing Julie Andrews from the stage musical, and Rex Harrison as Higgins, reprising his role from the stage, with Stanley Holloway, Gladys Cooper and Wilfrid Hyde-White in supporting roles.
