A distinguished London linguist makes a wager with a colleague that he can transform a working-class 
girl into an elegant, mannered lady, free of all bad accents. When he finds his subject, he turns her 
into the belle of high-society, but can't admit to himself that he's fallen in love with her. 

==========

Gloriously witty adaptation of the Broadway musical about Professor Henry Higgins, who takes a bet 
from Colonel Pickering that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into 
a lady, and fool everyone into thinking she really is one, too! He does, and thus young aristocrat 
Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls madly in love with her. But when Higgins takes all the credit and forgets 
to acknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for Freddy, and suddenly Higgins realizes he's 
grown accustomed to her face and can't really live without it.

==========

A chance meeting between two noted British linguists, Prof. Henry Higgins and Col. Hugh Pickering, 
leads to a wager that will test Higgins' skills. After they hear a cockney flower girl caterwaul in 
the street, Higgins proposes to transform the girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined Victorian lady 
with an aristocratic accent. After some hesitation Eliza agrees to become their test case.
