  • the most beautiful dresses ever

  • I used to hate my name until I saw this film, now Eliza kicks arse!

  • The costumes are 19th century, but the hairstyles are DEFINITELY 1960's !!! VERY ODD combination !!

  • @malarichierich

    I know! I adore this film, but I always notice that, too. Unfortunately, lots of costume departments do not seem to worry too much about hairstyles.

  • What is the name of that song when they do the slow dance?

  • @Htaed1239

    The song is called "The Embassy Waltz" and it's a Viennese Waltz.

  • nice movie

    

  • I wish we could have heard Eliza's conversations! We don't get to hear her speak a word in this ballroom scene! :(

  • Ugh. I love Audrey Hepburn. She's about the most beautiful and elegant woman in the world I think.

  • IT

    is

    rain

    Plane?プレーン!平野部

    に!スペインでは!in SPAIN♪

  • Sad fact: the bearded actor who presents Eliza to the Queen of Transylvania with the one line, "Miss Doolittle, ma'am.", was Henry Daniell. He died from a heart attack that very evening on October 31, 1963 in Santa Monica, California.

  • @SuperBabu321 He played villain Moriarity in Sherlock Holmes movies.

  • What a beautiful movie and does anyone ever think of Rex Harrison when they think of "My Fair Lady" No they don't excellent as his part as Mr Higgins was ...they think of and see only Audrey Hepburn in all her triumphant splendour as Eliza Doolittle .What mean spirited twits the American Acadamy were to refuse her the Oscar.What mean spirited bad form....shear ignoranc eand stupidity.Probably just one vote from some talentless twit on a commitee grrrrrrrr.the injustice.

  • @RichardElden You are a jerk an I wish you died of cancer, you asshole!!!

  • I love it how Higgins starts laughing at the end, and everybody else considers him extremely rude because they dunno - unless him - what is going on here.

  • OMFG THE WHITE DRESS!!!!!!!!!! AWESOMENESS!

  • @RichardElden. You're so mean in cursing Audrey Hepburn. She didn't do anything against you. She just portrayed the leading lady in this film. Why not talked to the producer and the director and put the blame on them?

  • i only saw this movie once years a go when i was little but from what i remember i didnt like it at all..eliza swapped her poverty for wealth and finery but had to give up her dignity and self-respect. The worst thing was, just when she finally realised she could do it all on her own, she went back and settled with what she had...it just made me angry cuz she had everything in the palm of her hand and she let it all go for someone who didn't care about her at all...

  • This is my second favorite scene from the movie. The Ascot race wins out. The costumes of this movie are just amazing.

  • @RichardElden

    You're such a troll. Why do you even bother? Personally, I find it hilarious, but i'm kinda not interested.

  • Fantastico!

    The best Musical"

  • this movie was not the original actually it was more of a "modern" version of the movie "Pygmalion" same story but with less screaming from eliza s; part. 

  • Anyone who doesn't think Audrey can act, regardless of her singing abilities, needs to watch the moment starting at 8:35 where she goes from dancing with Higgins to being pushed into the Hungarian's arms. Her facial expressions go from utter happiness to WTF to get-me-the-hell-out-of-here to the most fake smile I've ever seen . All subtly done.

  • I love that her first dance is with a Prince ;)

  • @RichardElden And you still think you are any good... as many other people here are saying... you are pitiful.

  • @RichardElden Sorry, but being so heartless to the point of being happy about anyone to die of cancer, it makes you something worse than slut. Unless you are okay with being completely lacking of character.

    We can't help it if you dislike her, but you can't go around wishing others to die of cancer or being happy about someone's death. It makes you worse than what you think about the ones you hate.

    By your language full of profanities, I can tell you lack education. Sad moronic attitude.

  • @RichardElden seems as is someone is not well liked hmmmhmmm also get a life she rarely ever wore anything above her knees do you know the definition of skank. And how is this bloody would u think it is remotely okay to say that it is good that she got cancer. In conclusion you are a sour kangaroo of a person who needs a job or something to keep you from posting mean comments of videos that you dont like. I you dont like it dont watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Queen was definitely a lesbian

  • You girls are talking about how you want to live in the early 20th century and earlier because of the style, think again. We had no rights back then. The wealthy class was only like 7% of the population. You'd more than likely be born into the proletarian class. Women were totally dependent on the man. Don't even get be started on the racism...just being practical.

  • @SkinnyKuroTori True. I love the time I live now. Although there is still prejudice, it is a lot less and everybody has rights now, and you can always prosecute people for prejudice if they are jerks.

    By the way, nowadays we have the freedom of express our style. If girls like the early 20th century so much, they can always take inspiration from there and put it in their outfits and overall style.

    Definetely, now is much better. But If I'd choose another time to live, then I'd like the 80s.

  • Quite charming

  • OMG!!!! The Queen is played by Terence Stamp!!! Priscilla - Queen of the Desert!

  • The man walking in with the queen was actor Henry Daniell, most known for playing villians (Jane Eyre). This scene was filmed Oct. 31, 1963. Mr. Daniell died that night from a heart attack.

  • @The1fuzzylogic Good eye & good ear on noticing Henry Daniell! Incredible actor.

  • @RichardElden Are you mad or just a bad person? Are you really glad that someone died of cancer? I pity you.

  • @RichardElden ur mother is slut and all of ur family with die by cancer u faggot

  • @RichardElden how come u have been making comments like this in every video of "my fair lady" i've watched so far? .....weird...

  • Lindo Filme!

  • @RichardElden What planet r u on mate

  • they do not make movies like this any more

  • "So she has...a sort of garden."

  • Hail Fredonia!

  • Ah, for the days when men could dance!

  • @esthermlaw Anyone can when you teach them.

  • @RichardElden Some people.... actually most people..... can say the same thing about you

  • some people accidentally pressed dislike!

  • some people accidentally pressed dislike!

  • I might be alone but my favorite part is when Henry and Eliza dance together. :D

  • @boobabycluebaby2 Oh, me too! :-)

  • i love the dresses in this movie.

    they are so beautiful.

  • I love Audrey, her dress, and everything else about this scene; but that hairdo just drives me nuts!

  • @cda345 I love it, actually. : )

  • "Why don't you have your hair cut?"

    What the heck...his hair is the same length as other men's hair.

  • @ForeverTheGirl because we are no more Europeans now. We are all Americans..

  • @dinyar65 that's true, especially in this day and age. But it wasn't as true decades ago. If you go back to the early and mid 20th century, you'll find alot of American women and me who dressed in a refined and sophisticated manner, similar to Europeans. I think the whole "Americanization" thing happened after the 1960's. It was always there but didn't really take off until things like hip hop, sex in movies, pop songs and pop music videos went mainstream. That's when America lost its culture.

  • And the men get stuck with a penguin suit.....talk about equal rights.

    wait a minute, the man get the penguin suit, the beautiful girl and the dress.

    OK I won't complain anymore

  • what happens next what happens next?? lol. never seen this movie before just watched this...noo, why did u end it there...? imma go watch it...

  • I love how he just bursts out laughing! There is just so much awesome in this scene!

  • the costumes are mindd blowing!

  • I say it now and continue to say it - I was born one hundred years too late.

  • @181stTIE I totally agree with you! Me as well, I was born in the wrong century! Im only in my 20's and I love 1800's and early 1900's.

    My room is all Victorian, with big dangling drapes, oil lamps, crystal chandeliers, fainting couch, and large mantle clocks!

    I wish women wore gowns like those in the movie, they are so elegant and enchanting! And all the diamonds!!!

    Time Machine anyone??

  • @1tsar WOOO

    TIME MACHINE TO UNEQUAL RIGHTS!

    OH YEAH.

    (note sarcasm)

  • @1tsar omg me too! I'm 20 and I feel like I really missed out on such a great century of American culture and history. I feel like I should've lived through the 20th century and met people like Marilyn Monroe. I love vintage glamour and style! It's so magical and ravishing! I hope for a time machine soon too!

  • Just over two years later, all this crap came to an end.

  • The moment that ALWAYS GETS ME is when the queen tells her "my son would like to dance with you" and he shows up bowing to her. That's when I'm like "YES! She F&#^$% made it!" and when they start dancing, seeing her as a poor girl with soot in her face to dancing with a prince, freaking awesome and the dress!

  • @franzchick66 hell yeah :)

  • @franzchick66 Well spoken, very true. This one act simply sums up the entire movie. All the sacrifice, and hard

    work, how Higgins molded a lump of clay into a fantastic elegent, exciting royal blooded woman is beyond

    bellief! This is what respect is all about.It's sad that this custom has gone extinct from society. But it can also

    be reborn.And to think Freddy turned down buying a flower from her at the beginning, only to fall in love later.

    Very loverly!

  • @trw1501 :)

  • If she were anymore beautiful, no human being would be able to look at her face.. It'd probably be like a pool of light, or something..

  • clearly juanmacready had made 5 youtube accounts to dislike this lovely video. it seems he/she wont just f***ing go away! every time i watch this video i see these negative and ugly comments about audrey. juanmacready can go f*** themselves.

  • You know Eliza just wanted to keep dancing with Henry forever!

  • this movie has the best music

  • @RichardElden Although it was worth it to hear her yell "C'mon Dover, Move your bloomin' ass!!!

  • @RichardElden Audrey will always be #1 for me but I agree she shouldn't have been cast. It should have gone to Julie Andrews, but that goes without saying. Another brilliant decision by the Hollywood bigwigs, those producers make far too many bad decisions to warrant their importance.

  • @MrCombat1965 You DO know why Andrews didn't take the part, it's because she was doing Mary Poppins at the same time and unlike the older days of MGM, doing 2 movies at once was highly discouraged for fear of burnout. She even said so herself that she couldn't do it and thought Hepburn did a marvelous job.

  • Audrey was absolutely gorgeous.

  • to show how quickly rumors spread 9:20

  • I love the gowns, I love the music, and I wish the beauty of a world that's disappeared would come back.

  • @dminrunyon This was a fucking evil time and it was all coming to an end just two years later when World War I started.

  • Charming. Quite charming.

  • The voice is not Julie Andrews'. She was passed over for this role , even tho' she created it on Broadway. the movie studios apparently thought she didn't have enough star power. the voice is done by the famous Marni Nixon, who also did voice overs in West Side Story.

  • The voice in all this lovely movy is Julie Andrews´voice, and the argument is based in Pigmalion from Sir Bernard Shaw. The last scene has been changed from the original Bernad Shaw´s one.

    Lovely film.

  • The whole story pretty much patronised the working class......it was fairly insulting.

  • @TheTyaptyap Yup, it was very dated and old fashioned even at the time.

  • @TheTyaptyap Get a life.

  • @TheTyaptyap

    No, the whole story is patronising the hypocrisy of the upper classes. That is the whole point. That Eliza may "pass" for a Hungarian princess merely on the basis of her superficial language skills is meant to hightlight this fact. That she turns out to be a person of character, wisdom and wit (which she always was, as is made clear) is meant to highlight the honor of the "working class" and Eliza specifically.

  • @amcoca I disagree because I think that it takes far too long to make that point. and its just there to give the audience a warm fuzzy feeling at the end of the film. In the mean time the audience is fully encouraged to laugh at Eliza's accent and all the mistakes she makes. How kind of Lady whats-her-face in this scene to call her charming, and the audience's response is to be to be gratified by her approval.

  • @TheTyaptyap But we are also encouraged throughout to view Eliza as the heroine of the film. She is the one we root for (and yes, it is gratifying). Frankly, I am more disturbed by the mysognistic tone. Her father (with the same speech patterns, and less honorable attributes or ambitions) is lauded by Higgins, while Eliza is denigrated. I think this story is more about inequality of gender in Edwardian England than about class differences...but it is certainly about that as well.

  • I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and this songs, i get chills just hearing it : )

  • I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and this songs, i get chills just hearing ut : )

  • such foul spouting words, u ought to be ashamed of yourself and your ignorance. Better be a whore than a tasteless degenerate

  • How can anyone be that skinny and still be alive and moving?

  • Secondly, does anyone know if the Embassy Ball was included in the original Broadway production or not? I went to see a live performance to day, and was surprised to see it missing, so I was wondering if it was written for the movie or just cut for my production. Wiki makes it look like it WAS originally included in the stage show, at the end of Act I. That would make for a pretty long act, though....

  • @90lysander The Embassy Ball was fully staged in the original Broadway show. It was a beautiful transition whereby the dancing couples were brought in on a circular moving platform already dancing to the wonderful waltz music. The choreographic waltz patterns were sheer magic invented by the great choreographer Hanya Holm. As in the movie, there was not much dialogue, out of respect for G.B. Shaw, I think, the action was mostly pantomimed, and the scene closed with Higgins' raucous laugh. 

  • @BillSalem Thank you so very much! Makes me more sad that it wasn't staged in the version I saw. :( It is such glorious music!

  • A few questions:

    First, and most importantly, does anyone else think the lady on the left at 07:50 is a Diana Rigg lookalike? :P

  • haha im confused? why is everyone calling audrey a whore and stuff like that? I'm not being sarcastic, im honestly confused haha. I don't know her life story, so did she do something in her life that is making the hate comments come out? I'm asking as a serious question, i really have no clue

  • @JuanMacready omg really?! thats horrible. geez i never knew that

  • @JuanMacready Although the vulgar tone of your posts scarcely deserves a reply: FYI, Audrey Hepburn was far from ugly. Indeed, she was an extremely talented actress who made a brilliant debut on Broadway in the play Ondine, in which she played an enchanted water sprite who falls tragically in love with a mortal man. The critics adored her. Besides that--- who wouldn't fuck William Holden and/or JFK.

  • Audrey Hepburn, known for her starring roles in films such as Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and My Fair Lady, dedicated the last years of her life to helping children in need around the world.

    Appointed as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1988, she traveled to Africa, Asia, and Latin America on behalf of the children until her death in 1993.

  • "She was an inspiration," said UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy, "she

    brought enormous world attention to children. She raised the profile of the challenges they face."

    As I stated earlier, aside from being a beautiful and talented actress, she was a humanitarian with a heart of gold.

  • En 1963 eligieron a Audrey Hepburn como protagonista por encima de la por entonces desconocida Julie Andrews, quien había protagonizado a Eliza Doolittle en el musical de Broadway. Esta decisión fue tomada (la de no contar con Julie) antes de contratar a Audrey, quien en un principio rechazo el papel porque no tenia talento para cantar y pidió que se lo dieran a Julie Andrews.

  • Eliza Doolittle a young Cockney woman who sells flowers poses as a mysterious lady at an embassy ball and even dances with a foreign prince. At the ball is Zoltan Karpathy (Theodore Bikel), a Hungarian phonetics expert trained by Higgins. After a brief conversation with Eliza, he certifies that she is of royal blood. This makes Higgins' evening, since he has always looked upon Karpathy as a bounder and a crook.

  • i love this it's the best example of "i don't know who she is- but i want to know!"

  • A classical and entertaining movie.

  • @JuanMacready Just shut up. Audrey was a good actress. She had class which you evidently don't have. Take a good look at yourself! You only wish you could be as classy and graceful as her.

  • True, she wasn't a great singer, but the voice you hear in her singing scenes in this movie isn't her. They filmed it with her voice, but then dubbed it over with another singer's voice.

  • love their gowns they look so elegant and luxorious. so many beautiful and shiny jewelries. audry is a beauty but she is sooo skinny. i love the fashion of the mid and late 1800s, and the early and mid 1900s.

  • Has any woman ever looked more beautiful! Every time I see this scene, Ms. Hepburn takes my breath away. Our fair lady!

  • audery hepburn is so classical.

  • Hi All! PLEASE do not waste your time replying to Juan Macready. He is all over YouTube, spewing vile and vicious comments about:

    Dick Van Dyke

    Sally Ann Howes

    "My Fair Lady"

    "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

    "Mary Poppins"

    There is absolutely NO point in arguing with him. He is a pathetic loser who loves to rain on everyone's parade. He will NOT give up. His statements are all LIES and UNTRUTHS. If you were all smart, you would simply mark everyone of his comments as SPAM. He's not worth your time.

  • @Scott6263 yeah he probly disses santa too.

    bastard.

  • WHY do we women not dress like that anymore????? :( so elegant!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 If they did.. that would be the end of Snooky!!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 True it is very elegant right up until the point you need the loo and have to wrestle with six miles of fabric and tricksy control underwear . . . Otherwise they're absolutely gorgeous ^^

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 World War I destroyed this classist system.

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 "it doesn't show enough skin". I miss those days their dresses were just so beautiful and their hair so lovely.

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 Not always! women with really good taste could probably be elegant, but most women dressed very tastelessly, even for their time! you would'nt want to see people like the lady in orange at 0:22! :) 

  • @Andiefunny93

    LOLOLOLOL so true :P

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 because of PANTS thats why

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 Well, we can always start a trend ourselves!! lol. I love Audrey's dress in the movie, I'd be willing to wear that any day!!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 Maybe because women are not chandelier!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 totally agreeee!!!!!!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 cuz, sadly, there are no Hepburns anymore, that said, elegance is now gone.

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 I totally agree!!!

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 because we are not often at embassy's :)

  • @ForeverTheGirl100 I know! Women back in the early and mid 20th century, and even during the 19th century, dressed so elegantly. They knew how to compliment their figure and complexion, and they were feminine with good manners and poise. Just take a look at some of the stars from that era, like Jean Harlow and Mae West. They cared about their appearance. People think you have to be stereotypically old fashioned to be feminine and lady like. You don't. Just be complimentary to yourself.

  • that woman makes me ashamed to be romanian my family is from transylvania XP

  • @EmilyBarnettGinsberg y would u be ashamed of being romanian

  • When they say "Charming" do they mean beautiful?

  • @windywest11225 It's a combination of beautiful, sweet, warm, and lovable.

  • Does anyone else feel that the way the Queen of Transylvania acts is obnoxious? I wonder how many people this film turned into republicans.

  • Amazing costumes! Amazing film quality!

  • @juanmacready you're a heartless cunt! Cancer is a dreadful disease not to be wished on anyone.

  • Does anyone know the song that plays when Eliza makes her entrance?

    Its so lovely. =3

  • rex is so sexy.

  • such an talented actress,and charm and grace

  • i wish i could be this ladylike, im just too brass and loud

  • ♪♫Andre Previn's music is 'the bomb'!

    Ms. Hepburn was most elegant in this scene!

  • Juanmcrady or mc crud-y

    Evidently you have no taste whatsoever.

    Film is an art form. The actors are part of it.

    Miss Hepburn had class, style and talent.

    A beautiful woman.

    So to you insipid little insect, piss off!!

  • @JuanMacready sod off loser

  • @JuanMacready what a surprise to be reading another comment by you on a Audrey Hepburn vid

  • @JuanMacready I draw great comfort from the fact that you are, without a doubt, the only person who feels that way. Every sane person in the world knows that she was a beautiful, talented woman who dedicated her life after acting to humanitarian efforts. You are a sad little pathetic person for having said such revolting things.

  • @JuanMacready I reiterate, you are a sad, pathetic little person with no clue what the hell you are talking about. It seems that you have nothing better to do than make aimless accusations about people that are quantum leaps better than you. I would highly suggest that you seek therapy for your emotional retardation and psychological deficiencies. A full frontal labotomy or maybe some EST is what you really need.

  • @JuanMacready Did one of your parents die from lung cancer? Your Father? You seem to hold some grudge against everyone who gets cancer. Perhaps you blame your father or mother for leaving you so soon and your anger against people with cancer is a defense mechanism.

  • i love all those dresses...........but Audrey`s dress is just PERFECTION!!!

  • This scene tells us how films should be. Elegance must come first.
