The power, if not the details, of GBS's story come through in this film and the songs and music reinforce and add to the whole. This makes MFL stand out in the annals of Broadway musicals. This sumptuous restoration brings back an important part of the story: the rich, creative environment in which Prof. Henry Higgens lived and worked. The British upper class tried to remake the entire world in their image in the years leading up to the first World War; Higgens' experiment with Eliza exemplifies a recent historical era which was extraordinarily rich and fertile.

I found the entire film to be absolutely delightful. The cast was perfect. Watching Audrey Hepburn perform, even though I knew it wasnt her singing, was pure bliss. Rex Harrisons razor sharp delivery was nothing short of genius. Put the two together and you get one fast paced, witty, remarkably entertaining piece of cinema.
Some of the scenes didnt work as well as others. Most of the movie takes place in Harrisons wood-paneled study, but the parts that didnt were generally weaker. Specifically, the horse track scene was a compete waste. But as a whole, the movie was actually very good. None of it reached the point of melodic stupidity that Ive found in most other musicals. The songs ranged from mildly amusing to incredibly entertaining. The music itself wasnt my favorite, but the lyrics were great.
In the genre of musicals, My Fair Lady was far and away the best Ive ever seen. Not only was it bearable, unlike most musicals, but I actually enjoyed it. Even compared to non-musicals, I think My Fair Lady is worth watching.

Timeless movie
This movie seems to excel in all of its themes - it's funny, touching, witty, romantic, and all of that with music of the highest level. It's a real classic I warmly recommend.
