MY FAIR LADY
June 12, 2017  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:15 p.m. ET

 

Here’s another Audrey Hepburn classic film portrayal tonight. It’s 1964’s My Fair Lady, with Hepburn as the cockney Eliza Doolittle, selected by snobby phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) as the “before” he can mold into a high-society “after.” And in this Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical version of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, he succeeds. George Cukor’s direction helps a lot, as do the costumes by Cecil Beaton.
