Directed by: George Cukor
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway
Question: Why would Zoltan Karpathy think that Audrey Hepburn is "born Hungarian, possibly of royal birth" when her name is Eliza Doolittle?
Question: Higgins presumably knows about the ball's high standards of dress for men and women. Why then is he the only man there who is not wearing white gloves (which are routine for such occasions)?
Visible crew/equipment: When Professor Higgins is having Eliza practice saying the letter H by blowing into a tube to make the flame waver, the paper she's holding is actually Rex Harrison's lines. Once the paper starts to burn and the camera angle changes, you can read them and it's practically all of his lines for the whole scene.
Professor Henry Higgins: Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Trivia: In the 40th anniversary re-mastered edition they have used Audrey Hepburn's original singing track for the "Wouldn't it be lovely" song.
Answer: He knows that Professor Higgins is trying to pull a fast one by having Eliza pretend to be someone else, and he fancies himself as much of a linguistic expert as Higgins. He's correct that there's something going on; he just gets the wrong end of the stick and assumes she's "high born," thus proving Higgins right that he could "train" Eliza to pass as upper class.
