Pygmalion (Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard) 1938

PART OF MY "DRIVE-IN MOVIE MARATHON" PLAYLIST: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B8C65C7296CB0CE3

'Loosely based on the Greek myth "Pygmalion" a Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory but his statue was so fair and realistic that he fell in love with it.
'The snobbish & intellectual Professor of languages, Henry Higgins (Leslie Howard) makes a bet with his friend (Scott Sunderland) that he can take a London flower seller, Eliza Doolittle (Wendy Hiller), from the gutters and pass her off as a society lady.
'However he discovers that this involves dealing with a human being with ideas of her own.' (Archive.org)
