PYGMALION (Theatrical Release UK 1938)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì 

Pygmalion—pointless, unimaginative, and rushed—needs more vision for its interpretation of this story. Director George Cukor’s 1964 remake of this story, renamed My Fair Lady, delivers a beautiful interpretation of this story that is unbeatable.

Thank you to Director Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard for directing effort. Thank you to Gabriel Pascal for making the film possible. Cast includes: Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller, Wilfrid Lawson, and Leueen MacGraft. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

No. The movie is a waste of time. Watch the 1964 film My Fair Lady, the same story and dialogue, that offers full value for your entertainment time and dollar.
