I came across this film by chance and it instantly won my heart! Have you ever imagined a PERFECT screen version of a play or a literary work? I didn't, but I think I found it.
The film is black and white and, to my shame, in my experience is not that much old black and white paintings, but after the "Pygmalion" I'm sure they will be more.
This film is addictive from the first minute, including his "background" work on embroidery, I'm in a few seconds "drawn" and threw a Hoop on an hour and a half of watching the film.
And I'm not kidding it really captivated me from the first seconds. From the very beginning of the film adaptation for some reason there was a feeling-it is necessary to look. The frame was replaced by the frame, and I had a feeling: "everything is so calculated That you can not miss even a second, all the fun is lost." The film, where there is no excess dialogue or there is a frame, it is necessary to watch everything and even to revise, purely for the aesthetic pleasure. Wendy Hiller, about Wendy Hiller, when I saw she was in shock, thinking, " This is our heroine? She was chosen by George Bernard Shaw"? I was not pushed away by her appearance, I was pushed away by her image, manner, but soon I realized that everything is right, I feel it. I saw her flower girl and believed her, watched her gradual changes and believed them, contemplated the beautiful Duchess and believed, felt, understood! I have a new favorite of the world of cinema!
Well, Leslie Howard wins, of course, no less. Describe his manner in the film can be only two words - rudeness and elegance. What kind of cocktail do you have to see with your own eyes, especially Professor Higgins, for all his tactlessness, somehow manages to remain a gentleman throughout the movie! Although sometimes he me than something was reminiscent mixture of the Mad Hatter with Sherlock Holmes...
