Summary: A Movie to Cherish
Comment: Years ago I saw the original Broadway stage version with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews. This film version is more complex, with more in-depth characterization, and is impeccably filmed with many imaginative and original touches. Audrey Hepburn was an attractive Liza, but her singing was done by Marnie Nixon, and her cockney speech at the very beginning of the movie was needlessly incomprehensible. It was a classic Hollywood mistake not to use Julie Andrews in the screen version.
Harrison is brilliant as Henry Higgins, and the supporting cast is first-rate. The musical numbers are well-structured with a flair and zest which shows George Cukor's taste and sensibilities. The movie deservedly won eight Oscars.
The widescreen, letter-box version I found annoying as I usually do. The movie's sumptuous sets seemed to lose out by this process.
The movie is enlightening about the British class system which persists to this day. Higgin's mansion is artfully rendered, and the scenes in which the servants sing are captivating.
This film captures the spirit, the style, and the genius of the musical and provides us with an archival record of the show.

Summary: Among the Top-3 Best Hollywood Musicals of All Time!
Comment: This musical won 8 Oscars including Best Picture and it is richly deserving of the accolades. The cast is superb and the songs are all standards destined to be appreciated over the years. I've watched this film many times over the years and I never get tired of watching it and in fact I'm looking forward to the next screening. No fan of musicals should be without this dvd in their collection.

The dvd itself is also a treat as it has been restored pretty well. Picture quality-wise it isn't perfect but it's still very good given the state of the severely deteriorated original master and is still a lot better than many other "restored" older films that I've seen. Also widescreen format is the best way to view this film and this is the format in which it is presented here on this dvd. There is a nice short making-of documentary included and the biggest plus of this dvd version is the excellent sound quality that comes in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. I've seen other films with this feature but they don't sound as good but it is clear here that a lot of effort went into vastly improving and getting the most out of the 5.1 format.

Excellent sound quality and very good picture quality make this dvd great value for money. I wonder what other improvements we can expect from the upcoming Blu-ray version? As far as standard dvd versions go though, this version is very, very good.

Recommended.
