My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady is a 1964 American musical comedy-drama film based on the 1956 Lerner and Loewe stage musical Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The film, directed by George Cukor and written by Alan Jay Lerner, depicts a poor Cockney flower seller named Eliza Doolittle who overhears an arrogant phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, casually wagering that he could teach her to speak "proper" English, thereby making her presentable in Edwardian London's high society.

It became the second highest-grossing film of 1964 and won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. The American Film Institute named it the 91st best American film of all time in 1998.
