PYGMALION (1938) - Full Movie 

Role play in our school!

YuP!! Me for mY English chapTer! Nd whT about youu??

Certainly,. Me 🖐 watching for my English Literature class

Heehe me

For English 🥲

Actually, it's also the way she behaves, if she's truly a lady.

treat is for behavior

Movies are fun to watch, even when foolish.

@@wyominghome4857 Higgins denies your point. He threw Eliza‘s refined behavior in her face as though it was merely what he had taught her, as though behavior is not something that is learned but inherent. Pickering treated Eliza as a lady from the beginning.

@@denvan3143 Higgins wasn't a gentleman, as I'm sure his mother would have agreed. :)

Me

Or better a fire extinguisher....

yes but so was Audrey Hepburn

Love both Pygmalion and My Fair Lady.

Audery was the best

Audrey Hepburn andJulie Andrews both failed to find the Cockney girl Eliza must rise up out of to fulfill Shaw's conceit!

Julie was too beautiful for cockney Eliza ( she’d have trouble being a “good girl”). Audrey was way too skinny. Men didn’t think that look was attractive until the 1960s. Wendy was unattractive is the beginning and so regal at the ball.

You may be right never saw him on stage stick on cinema just my opinion stay blessed and healthy

Those Doe Eyes always got to me.. and still does. LOL

@@marquitaarmstrong399 Well you wouldn't have would you, unless you're a very, very elderly person, as he was killed in WWII.

@sam loran No, he did not. There is absolutely no rumour about that, so stop lying for attention.

@sam loran wtf are you talking abt pls

Now that I have a few of his movies, indeed he is the ultimate genius legend in acting world. So is our Laurence Olivier. I just love both of them.

Goodness, you might want to invest in watching more movies then that of which are cherry picked. Plenty, plenty of movies, I think Stowaway is a fantastic one (1936), it was color in cinema too. Cinecolor which was popular in the early 1930s. As they say, the model T was not the only vehicle in the 1920s.

Nigga I watched the movie so I don't read the book 😅

The the film Rebecca , darker than this but brilliant. Alfred Hitchcock starring Joan Fontaine. Also Ladies of retirement is brilliant.

@@bestdisco1979 Oh a wicked film, I felt so bad for her, its ironic even so that the title of the movie is about Rebecca instead of the no named wife.

I have the original written play as a pdf, if you want it

I wish all poor boys in this world had the same luck as Eliza Doolittle.

Is this more about love than money and luck?

Old joke about the comment that it looks like rain: “Yes, but it’s really coffee ☕️ “. 😂😂😂😂😂

@@buickmclean8163 Boys generally have/ had it easier than girls. Get more attention as children, get to move more and play with boy groups=> get strong bodies and practice social skills for later work settings, less sensitive and better at restraining strong emotions. Bodily, they are more centered, grounded or incarnated, which makes for greater self-confidence and stability. parulaegreet made no mistake, even though boys have their difficulties too of course. And only because she expresses good wishes for girls doesn't mean she doesn't for boys. Anyway, the film does not show typical characters: Prof Higgins is freer a spirit and not wing-clipped by limiting paradigm and convention and is too unpolished socially, and Eliza is uncommonly self-confident, despite her emotionally dysfunctional background. But then, it doesn't have to be entirely realistic to have many good points and be a great story and film. Without Colonel Pickering though, she wouldn't have succeeded that well that quickly or at all. One can see how insecure and nervous Prof Higgins personality and treatment makes her feel, whereas Cl Pick helps her get the necessary relaxation and calm needed to learn and excel.

Seeing the other attempts make seeing this better, so they help Grandiose it.

Oh, I am getting schooled right here! As Johnny Carson would say, “ I did NOT know that!”

Me to with 69

It is a play by George Bernard Shaw, written in 1912, then adapted into a movie, then adapted into a Broadway musical as My Fair Lady in 1956, then as a musical film in 1964.

@@mandywhittles thanks for the info ( I didn't know)....Leslie Howard is one of my favorite actors of that era ...."The Petrified Forest" being at the top of my list.

If you look at films through the ages long enough, you will find little is original.

I think Shaw’s separate epilogue to _Pygmaluon_ could be developed into an excellent miniseries. And the title would, of course, be _Galatea._

Sorry for Freddy then, because he deserves some ease and real love too, where Eliza mostly leads him on in order to escape her broken self-confidence and pride, as well as to punish and make prof Higgins jealous, or show she manages without him and his approval. Freddy needs a woman -or therapist first -who helps him heal his people-pleasing insecurity and gain self-confidence and independence. Although he does show some independence in appreciating her ways at the reception, where the others are inhibited and bewildered.

And I'm glad Alan Jay Lerner thought otherwise (and shame on the recent Brodway revival for soiling the masterpiece of that great musical)

@@denvan3143 thank goodness for that. The horrible arrogance of the Prof sickened me !

And Henry Higgins simply said "she's marry Freddy"

I think the reason Pygmalion is superior is because of the casting (and witty screenplay writing). As much as I like Rex Harrison, he really can't pull off a role where he's supposed to come off as uncaring, while Leslie Howard does "clinical" very well. Also, did anyone actually find Audrey Hepburn believable as a "guttersnipe"? "My Fair Lady" may have won 8 Academy Awards, but "Pygmalion" is a better production.

No way.

@@MrVvulf Hepburn was totally miscast (but she did her best). Harrison was both too old for Higgins, too tanned and too one-note... always bellowing but doesn't have any of the charm, sarcastic wit and credible narcissism Howard has... not to mention Leslie Howard is incredibly attractive in this film no matter how obnoxious his character. Wilfrid Lawson is more believable as Dolittle than Stanley Holloway, who's cute but, again, too old. Marie Lohr is glowing as Higgin's mum. Then there's the Embassy scene... Hiller is stunning... far more striking than Hepburn, and it's a more amazing transformation from her flower girl self. I love the songs in My Fair Lady but the film is really quite leaden and overblown (the entire Ascot scene isn't nearly as good as Pygmalion's tea scene). Pygmalion really holds up much better than My Fair Lady.

@@kabardinka1 Agreed. My Fair Lady is fun, but G.B. Shaw would not have liked it. In a postscript to Pygmalion, Shaw wrote about what really happened to Eliza. After leaving Higgins, she opened a flower shop. She married a nice man. They struggled some, but ultimately did all right. She even dropped in on Higgins from time to time, but she never, ever loved him.

@@MrVvulf I love My Fair Lady

do you maybe know what the bird signified at 11:40 ? henry said ''a reminder''

@thequrratulain oh! thank you so much :)

Oh, you've got to look for more Leslie Howard movies, especially the Scarlet Pimpernel and Mr. "Pimpernel" Smith - he displays all his amazing talent! And depth of his true personal moral compass. A true hero!

@@ladydianepoet Thank you for telling me about Scarlett Pimpernel ... I just watched it and finished with a smile :)

Oh yes so agree with ya lol. This might sound weird but when I was introduced to Howard's films via mom as a ten year old I dreamed of marrying him I was so smittened. lol

Long before 9/11, JFK and faked moon landing, there is the controversy over Leslie Howard's death.

Leslie suggested bogart for the role of a gangster in the movie the petrified forest and that kick started bogarts film career and then bogart named his daughter Leslie after Leslie Howard...

@@dancingtrout6719 I don't know but I only think of his son Stephen,even though I read a biography about him.

@@micheleandhenrycasavant386 Are you from the Québec pipe organ family?

Nearing sixty and have seen My Fair Lady maybe hundred+ times. Knew what it was based of but did not know about this movie. What a pleasant surprise!

O no, Hepburn never be as good actress, but she is beautiful

I saw this when I was young and then later on My Fair Lady - which I really did not like so much - I felt Rex Harrison never showed proper respect or deference to Eliza where as Leslie Howard finally relents his stoic nature and shows humanity

The music let look all characters not very confident. Henry Higgins needs 3 minutes and many arguments, to justify his bachelor status and why it is better to keep it.

I've seen it a half dozen times.

What a wonderful idea! 1💜

same!! i have it as a play in the christmas assembly

U r in the 11th grade in a language school ... right ?!

@@MohamedAlaa_729 yes and the exam after some days 😩😂

@@malaklifestyle702 mine is on this Thursday 😩

@@MohamedAlaa_729 no my exam will be on Monday 😭😭

I notice as main difference to My Fair Lady, that here Henry Higgins is more confident, not taking three minutes to confess himself and others about being bachelor. At least the story also works in an environment, where the cabs hasn't literal horsepower and the recording machines microphones and electronical amplification.

Shaw actually LOVED the movie! He was really picky about his work being filmed.

Co-directed it; Anthony Asquith was the other director.

Но Лесли Ховард мне больше нравится!

right

The first scene at Higgins' mother's house is a comedy classic I never tire of it.

I agree. Ashley Wilkes annoyed me but I loved Leslie Howard after I saw this and The Scarlet Pimpernel.

WIKI "At Shaw's insistence, she (Hiller) starred as Eliza Doolittle in the film Pygmalion (1938) with Leslie Howard as Professor Higgins".

Me too! Got his autograph but lost it in hurricane Katrina

It's better than the remake. I love it.

yes Liza is treated like a piece of meat by both her pimp father and the inhuman Higgins

No. I disagree. The play by Shaw and the film are concerned about class not gender. Eliza is held back by her class. She reveals her class through her speech, as Professor Higgins shows, when he transforms her into a presumptive princess by changing it. Though nothing else about her has changed, she is suddenly a lady, a highborn lady. Higgins has changed her life. He has to take responsibility for what he has done, and he happily does!

Hmmm I saw it much differently. Clearly Eliza and Higgin's mother were the dominant ones who artfully orchestrated the desired outcome. When women unite men have no power over them.

It is a play, not a novel

@@it2313 cool ..... Whatever @Tarau , doesn't matter..... As far as u liked it if u enjoyed it .... Its all good

I studied Pygmalion at school in my native language in 1973. Little did I know that I would fall in love in My Fair Lady in 1988 in Australia. in my english class.

Love both movies.

@@annawan2518 same like them both for different reasons. Sometimes I'd like to see the story without stopping for song and dance numbers lol. Howard and Hiller were both excellent in this

@@ShawDAMAN 😊😁👍

My Fair Lady was based on this film version -- NOT GBS' original play.

@@annawan2518 Same, but found this to be much moredeeper in showing feelings of the characters.

Pretty sure that's a set made to look like the embankment, because I don't think film technology back then was good enough to shoot outdoors.

@@scfeng6883 The scene where Freddy and Eliza drive off with Higgins chasing after them was at first a set with back projection, then it cuts to Higgins walking along the real Embankment shot outdoors. Most films were easily shot outdoors (e.g. Chaplin, Keaton, Harold Lloyd and others) from the beginning of moving pictures. There was no need to wait for film technology to be "good enough".

Kabalistic hints? What do you mean?

@@kerryhorwitz4093 "Kabbalistic hints"-- that was posted by a person who'd find "kabbalistic hints" if they watched a Donald Duck cartoon.

He supported mass genocide of the "undesirables"

Sakalaka Matahata No he didn't! The Nobel Prize is awarded for a body of literature, not just one work. Furthermore he was awarded the prize 12 years after this play was first produced.
