Pygmalion (1938)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 96m
Director: Anthony Asquith, Leslie Howard
Cast: Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller, Wilfrid Lawson

Synopsis:

A professor of elocution trains a cockney flower seller to pass herself off as a society lady, in order to prove the determinism of environmental factors.

Review:

About as well as this property could conceivably be done on screen, and all the more commendable for its embracement of film form, for example in the distillation of the coaching scenes into one simple, if intricately staged, montage. The cast is pitch perfect.
