Pygmalion is an absolutely fantastic film. I saw My Fair Lady (1964) before this movie and wasn't very impressed with it. Seeing as it was a musical adaptation of Pygmalion, I didn't have very high hopes for this movie. The second Wendy Hiller popped onto the screen, I knew I'd discovered something special. Her acting was beyond brilliant and the chemistry she had with Leslie Howard was electric. I feel that Pygmalion is an underrated classic that should be praised just as much as Brief Encounter (1945) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951).
