Harris and James C. Katz.MPAA rating: Rated G; Canadian Home Video rating: PG.Arrogant, irascible, and misogynistic professor of phonetics Henry Higgins believes that the accent and tone of one's voice determines a person's prospects in society. He boasts to a new acquaintance, Colonel Hugh Pickering--also an expert in phonetics--that he could teach any woman to speak so "properly" that he could pass her off as a duchess at an embassy ball. He chooses as an example a sassy, young working-class London flower seller from the slums, Eliza Doolittle, who has a strong Cockney accent. Can Higgins turn Eliza into a duchess? And will Eliza care to remain a lady for long? When the humble flower girl blossoms into the toast of London's elite, her teacher may have a lesson or two to learn himself.Winner, 1965 Academy Awards for Best Sound--George Groves; Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color--Gene Allen, Cecil Beaton, George James Hopkins; Best Costume Design, Color--Cecil Beaton; Best Cinematography, Color--Harry Stradling Sr.; Best Music, Scoring of Music, Adaptation or Treatment--André Previn; Best Actor in a Leading Role--Rex Harrison; Best Director--George Cukor; Best Picture--Jack L.
