Pygmalion is the origional story of "My Fair Lady"....This story was origionlly a book then broadway musical played by Julie Andrews and the one I LOVE is the 1964 version with Audrey Hepburn.
The story of a girl who is socially nothing and how a man a tutor a language specialist saved her from her poverty! Yes, he was rough around the edges but so was Eliza Doolittle.
This story was beautiful! It sort of implicates how our most precious loved ones view us. While they get used to our company...they become accustomed to our faces... just as Professor Henry Higgins, played by Rex Harrison sung in the movie.
I had a sudden feeling to write about this story as I saw it in the book!
The song you mention is beautiful but somewhat bittersweet. It makes me want to look at loved ones in a new light.
ReplyDeleteI love My Fair Lady! We need to watch it again HollyBubba! I never thought about that statement, "Henry Higgins was rough around the edges but so was Eliza"... that is so true. Also, this one is just for you..."I've grown accustomed to your face"... :-)
