My Fair Lady is an Academy Award-winning 1964 film adaptation of the stage musical, My Fair Lady, based in turn on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The film was directed by George Cukor and stars Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
Plot
Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), an arrogant, irascible professor of phonetics, boasts to a new acquaintance, Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), that he can teach any woman to speak so "properly" that he could pass her off as a duchess. The person whom he is shown thus teaching is one Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), a young woman with a strong Cockney accent who is selling flowers on the street. After overhearing this, Eliza finds her way to the professor's house and offers to pay for speech lessons, so that she can work in a flower shop. Pickering is intrigued and wagers that Higgins cannot back up his claim; Higgins takes Eliza on free of charge as a challenge to his skills.
Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle (Stanley Holloway), a dustman, arrives three days later, ostensibly to protect his daughter's virtue, but in reality simply to extract some money from Higgins, and is bought off with £5. Higgins is impressed by the man's genuineness, natural gift for language and especially his brazen lack of morals (Doolittle explains, "Can't afford 'em!").
Eliza goes through many forms of speech training, such as speaking with marbles in her mouth and trying to recite the sentence "In Hertford, Hereford, Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen" without dropping the 'h', and to say "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" rather than "The rine in spine sties minely in the pline". At first, she makes no progress (due to Higgins's harsh approach to teaching), but just as she, Higgins, and Pickering are exhausted and about to give up, Higgins softens his attitude and gives an eloquent speech about the beauty and history behind the English language. Eliza tries one more time and finally "gets it"; she instantly begins to speak with an impeccable upper class accent.
Higgins takes her on her first public appearance to Ascot Racecourse, where she makes a good impression with her stilted, but genteel manners, only to shock everyone by a sudden and vulgar lapse into Cockney; "C'mon Dover, move your bloomin' arse!". Higgins, who dislikes the pretentiousness of the upper class, partly conceals a grin behind his hand, as if to say "I wish I had said that!"
The bet is won when Eliza successfully poses as a mysterious lady of patently noble rank at an embassy ball, despite the unexpected presence of a Hungarian phonetics expert trained by Higgins. Higgins's callous treatment of Eliza afterwards, especially his indifference to her future prospects, leads her to walk out on him, leaving him mystified by her ingratitude. When she is gone however, he comes to the horrified realization that he has "grown accustomed to her face". Putting aside his resentment about the intrusion on his life and toward women in general, Higgins finds Eliza the next day and attempts to talk her into coming back to him. During a testy exchange, Higgins' ego gets the better of him, and his former student rejects him.
Higgins makes his way home, stubbornly predicting that Eliza will be ruined without him and come crawling back. However, his bravado collapses and he is reduced to playing old phonograph recordings of her voice lessons. To Higgins' great delight, Eliza chooses that moment to return to him. The last words are from Higgins: "Eliza.. where the Devil are my slippers?" This differs from the original play's resolution (see Pygmalion ending).
Andrews versus Hepburn
It was never assumed that the lead role in the film would go to Julie Andrews, who had played Eliza in the stage version to great critical acclaim. Audrey Hepburn was cast instead (despite lobbying from screenwriter Alan Jay Lerner), because Jack Warner of Warner Brothers wanted a box office star, and at the time Andrews was an untested screen presence. Elizabeth Taylor reportedly fought long and hard for the role as well. The casting controversy did little to hurt Hepburn's career. Andrews' subsequent Academy Award for Mary Poppins - and the lack of a nomination for Hepburn - was seen by many as vindication for Julie Andrews, though both actresses denied that there was ever any animosity between them. Years later, when Warner Bros. offered Andrews the role of Guinevere in the film adaptation of the Lerner & Lowe musical Camelot (which she also originated to great acclaim on Broadway), Andrews asked for a cool $7 million, and as a consequence, politely declined the offer. Vanessa Redgrave took the role, although she was quoted as saying that, had Julie Andrews wanted to play the role, she certainly would have.
Dubbing
Hepburn's singing was judged inadequate, however, and she was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Some of Hepburn's original vocal performances for the film was released in the 1990s, affording fans of the actress to judge whether the dubbing was necessary. Less well known is the dubbing of Jeremy Brett's songs (as Freddy) by Bill Shirley[1].
No dubbing was done for Rex Harrison, even though his singing voice was closer to speaking on pitch and rhythm than to true singing. In addition, the actor declined to pre-record his musical numbers for the film, explaining that he had never sung the songs the same way twice and thus couldn't convincingly lip-sync to a playback during filming (as musical stars had been doing in Hollywood since the dawn of talking pictures). In order to permit Harrison to sing his songs live during filming, the Warner Bros. Studio Sound Department, under the direction of George Groves, implanted a wireless microphone in Harrison's neckties, marking the first time in film history that one was used to record sound during filming. André Previn then conducted the final version of the music to the voice recording. The sound department earned an Academy Award for its efforts.
Copyright issues
The head of CBS put up the money for the original Broadway production in exchange for the rights to the cast album (through Columbia Records). When Warner bought the film rights for the then-unprecedented sum of $5 million, it was agreed that the rights to the film would revert to CBS seven years after its release. Warner owned the film's original copyright, but it was renewed by CBS due to the 1972 rights reversion. Currently, Warner owns the DVD rights to the film (under license from CBS), while CBS corporate cousin King World now owns the television rights. A VHS release by Paramount Pictures in 2001 is currently out of print.

Restoration
By the 1990s, the original film elements had fallen into disrepair from heavy printing and there was fear of total deterioration. Film restorers Robert A. Harris and James C. Katz, in conjunction with 20th Century Fox (whose home video division previously held the rights to the CBS library including My Fair Lady), were brought in to save the film. They succeeded in preserving the film's image quality for future generations. A 30th anniversary re-issue in 1994 by Fox reinforced the film's popularity.
Past animated remake
In 1995 Fox executives gave animation directors/producers Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, then newly appointed as the creative heads of Fox Animation Studios, the choice between creating an animated re-make of either My Fair Lady or the 1956 Fox film Anastasia. Bluth and Goldman chose to make the animated film Anastasia, which became the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film in 1997.
Possible remake
In early June 2008 it was reported that a remake of My Fair Lady is being planned, starring Keira Knightley[4] as Eliza Doolittle, for release in 2009 or 2010.[5] It would be produced by Duncan Kenworthy (Love Actually) and co-developed by Columbia Pictures and CBS Films. Emma Thompson was reported to be set to write the script.[6]
Hollywood pals Brad Pitt and George Clooney, who have made a number of films together, are said to have fallen out over the issue of the remake since both want the same part. Pitt also wants to have his partner, Angelina Jolie, as Eliza
Mini-Biography for Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium, with the given name of Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston. She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school. Later, when her mother moved back to the Netherlands, she attended private schools as well. While vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army suddenly took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her niche in life--until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948) in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in the 1951 film, Young Wives' Tale (1951) as Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much, so she headed to America to try her luck there.
奥黛丽·赫本小传
奥黛丽·赫本出生于1929年5月4日的比利时布鲁塞尔，教名是Edda Kathleen Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston。她是贵族血统，父亲是英国富有的银行家，母亲是荷兰女男爵。父母离婚后，奥黛丽·赫本和母亲去了伦敦，在那里上了一所私立女子学校。后来，母亲返回荷兰，她同样在荷兰上私立学校。她和母亲在荷兰阿纳姆度假时，希特勒的军队突然接管了城镇。在纳粹分子统治时期，奥黛丽·赫本在那里过了一段艰苦的生活。她一直忍受着抑郁和营养不良的痛苦。解放后，赫本去了伦敦的一所芭蕾舞学校，获得了学位，后来就开始了她的模特生涯。作为一名模特，她的仪态优雅，她感到似乎已经找到适合她一生的位置---直到电影制片人打来电话。1948年，被制片人发现后，她签约在一部欧洲电影里扮演一个小角色，“7 lessen”(1948)。过后，1951年，她在电影“Young Wives' Tale”里饰演Eve Lester，是正式的演员。角色一直不很多，因此她前往美国去试试运气。

Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday (1953) in 1953. This film turned out to be a smashing success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles. One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so elf like and had class, unlike the ***-goddesses of the time. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). Sabrina (1954), in 1954, for which she received another Academy nomination, and Love in the Afternoon (1957), in 1957, also garnered rave reviews. In 1959, she received yet another nomination for her role in _Nun's Story (1959). Audrey reached the pinnacle of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the delightful film, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) in 1961. For this she received another nomination. One of Audrey's most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady (1964), in 1964. Her co-star Rex Harrison once was asked to identify his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, "Audrey Hepburn in MY FAIR LADY". After a couple of other movies, she hit pay dirt and another nomination in 1967's Wait Until Dark (1967).
1953 年，奥黛丽·赫本在“罗马假日”(1953)中的演出使她在美国变的引人注目。这部电影取得了了不起的成功，她因此而获得了奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，并且备受好评，有很多角色来找她。赫本成为明星的原因之一是她能那天真清纯的小精灵形象以及她那古典美，不象当时的那些性感女郎。“罗马假日”后是另一部同样极好的电影杰作“甜姐儿”(1957)。1954年，“莎宾娜”(1954)让她获得了一个奥斯卡奖提名，1957年的“午恋”(1957)也得到了很多好评。1959年，“修女传”(1959)让她又获得一次提名。1961年，当奥黛丽·赫本在“帝凡尼的早餐”中饰演令人喜爱的Holly Golightly时，达到了她事业的顶峰。这次她又获得一次提名。赫本最光彩的形象是在名作“窈窕淑女”(1964)中的角色。她的合作者Rex Harrison曾被问及他最喜爱的女主角。他毫不犹豫地回答，“‘窈窕淑女’中的奥黛丽·赫本。”两部其他电影之后，她又碰到了好运，因为1967年的 “盲女惊魂记”而再次获得提名。 * prominence (n.) 突起，凸出，显著，杰出，卓越，声望

By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. One film of note was Robin and Marian (1976) with Sean Connery in 1976. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. She was named to People's magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Her last film was Always (1989) in 1989. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Tolochnaz, Switzerland, from colon cancer. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies. Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named to Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".
60岁时，她和演员梅尔·费勒离婚，想在她事业顶峰时期退休。后来与Andrea Dotti博士结婚。有时，也会出现在银幕上。著名的一部电影是1976年和肖恩·康纳利合演的“罗宾和玛丽安”(1976)。1988年，奥黛丽·赫本成为联合国儿童基金会特使，对拉丁美洲和非洲的儿童给予帮助，一直做到1993年。她被人物杂志评为世界上最美丽的50人之一。她的最后一部电影是 1989年的“直到永远”(1989)。1993年1月20日，奥黛丽·赫本因结肠癌死于瑞士的洛桑。她生前主演过31部优秀的电影。赫本被帝国杂志选为 “永远的100位影星”之一，她的高雅和时尚将总远铭刻在电影史上

奥黛丽·赫本1929年5月4日生于比利时首都布鲁塞尔，父亲是一位银行家，母亲是苛兰的男爵夫人，当奥黛丽还是孩子时他们便离婚了。奥黛丽曾在伦敦的女子私立学校学习，但后来便与母亲回到了荷兰。这时第二次世界大战已经爆发，纳粹军队的占领的日子里，奥黛丽患上了忧郁症和营养不良，奥黛丽那瘦削的身材便来源于此。战后，奥黛丽到英国学习了芭蕾，并成为一名模特。此后她又成为一名演员，并来到百老汇演出。她在舞台剧上小有成就，于是好莱坞的制片人邀请她拍电影，她的第一部电影就是著名的《罗马假日》。在这部经典的电影里，奥黛丽扮演了美丽顽皮的安妮公主，这位在国事活动中开小差的公主，迷倒了世界各地的影迷，她在影片中俏丽的短发，风麾世界。她的表演如此出色，与她合作的大明星格里高利.派克在影片未公映前就预见到了她一定会成功。果然奥黛丽第一次拍片就拿了奥斯卡金像奖。从此奥黛丽成了五六十年代最走红的大明星。她主演的喜剧片轻松幽默，她的银幕形象美丽动人，深受观众喜爱。《蒂凡尼的早餐》、《窈窕淑女》、《龙凤配》（莎布琳娜）等都是电影史上经久不衰的著名影片。晚年的奥黛丽积极参加人道主义活动，她曾是联合国派往非洲慰问灾民的亲善大使。
1989年她拍摄了她的最后一部电影史蒂芬.斯皮尔伯格的《直到永远》，在片中她是下到凡间点化凡人的天使。
1993年一直受癌症折磨的奥黛丽离开了人间，这位被认为是女人与孩子的混合体的美丽女性始终是人们心中完美的明星，她的31部影片几乎都是经典之作，部部令人难忘。
