I...I agree with you about the My Fair Lady musical. It's almost painful to watch it now, with it being so entrenched with the 1960's pre-feminist sensibilities.

Eliza need to teach her man a lesson.<br /><br />And as far as Selfie, it sounds like it may be ahead of it's time (ironically like Pygmalion I imagine. Most of the time shows like that don't appeal to the masses. I'll have to check it out and see.<br /><br />Thanks, SL. Great post!

I've been doing it with books lately but now I really want to rewatch Sound of Music and the Tim Burton Batman.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106399041059595196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-45228389248262663822014-10-07T13:54:53.885-07:002014-10-07T13:54:53.885-07:00I've seen My Fair Lady, but it's been ages...I've seen My Fair Lady, but it's been ages.<br />Texting drives me bonkers as well.

The original film with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller is superlative to the musical of which I also love. I think that despite him being a snob to the Nth degree she could match wits with him and beat him and he can't live without her. She ends up being the stronger character for it. he not only created a lady that was already part of her but she surpasses him in etiquette, manner and decorum which he was teaching her. I wish, even though I love Audrey Hepburn, that Julie Andrews would have been able to do this part that she played on Broadway. I have seen clips of Selfie but that Title irks me and makes me think it is a stupid comedy so I should give it a chanceBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.com
