Brand new case. Disc in excellent condition. Adapted for the screen by George Bernard Shaw from his original hit play, Pygmalion tells the story of Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgin s before they got the Lerner and Loewe treatment. After the lovely but low-class flower-seller Eliza Doolittle (Wendy Hiller) meets Professor Henry Higgins (Leslie Howard) her life changes forever. Having wagered his friend Colonel Pickering that he can change the cockney-accented street urchin into a proper lady of society, the pompous Higgins begins a series of lessons on elocution, posture and grooming, treating the young Eliza like a laboratory rat in his grand social experiment. But will it be too late before he realises that she is a woman, too? Show more
